An attempt to hijack a Turkish Airlines (THY) plane bound from southern Turkish province of Antalya to Russia's St Petersburg has been foiled by passengers on Wednesday, the semi-official Anatolia news agency reported.
State Airports Authority (DHMI) Director-General Orhan Birdal was quoted as saying that a passenger attempted to hijack the plane by claiming that he was carrying a bomb.
"He was overpowered. And the plane is continuing on route to St Petersburg," Birdal added.
