The RSAF F-15SG fighter jets had to meet the Scoot flight TR634 at the South China Sea, before escorting the aircraft back to Changi Airport.

A male passenger, who had allegedly made the bomb threat, and his two other travel companions, are assisting the police with investigations. The police subsequently found no threat, after searching the plane and the belongings of the passenger, and his two companions.




In a statement, Scoot said the plane returned to Changi Airport safely after an “alleged bomb threat” and “the aircraft was escorted back to Singapore by RSAF and safely landed at 15.23hours”.

Flight TR634 was carrying 173 passengers and six crew. Data from flight tracking sites showed the aircraft to be an Airbus A320.
