A plane set to take off from Cologne Bonn Airport for Palma on Friday was evacuated after some passengers said that they heard a "suspicious conversation".
German police reported that a group of passengers had expressed genuine concerns about the safety of the flight to members of the crew. Various media outlets said that two passengers attempted to leave the plane just as it was preparing to take off. The other passengers refused to let the plane leave because there was a "suspicious man" on board.
The flight was cancelled. The plane and luggage were checked after all the passengers had got off, and no suspicious device was found.
