A plane due to leave Rotterdam for Bodrum in Turkey was evacuated late on Tuesday after emergency services received a telephone threat saying it would be hijacked, Dutch authorities said.
Passengers on the plane, operated by Dutch budget airline Transavia, were kept on board for about five hours before the evacuation began.
“The plane is now empty and all passengers left in a calm manner,” a Dutch police spokesman said.
A spokeswoman for the Dutch public prosecutor said two men and a woman who had been aboard the aircraft were being questioned.
A Transavia spokeswoman said 114 people had been on board. Passengers were offered an alternative flight to Turkey later, she said.
