BANGKOK -- A Bangladeshi airliner made an emergency landing Tuesday in Bangkok after a man with a fruit knife caused a panic among passengers, Thai aviation officials said.
The pilot of the GMG Airlines flight from Kuala Lumpur to Dhaka asked for an emergency landing at 9:30 a.m. (0230 GMT) after a passenger took out the knife, said Chana U-Sathaporn, president of Airports of Thailand.
Aviation authorities directed the plane to land at Bangkok's domestic Don Mueang airport, he added.
"This is not a hijacking or terrorism. The pilot asked for an emergency landing just to be safe," Chana told a press conference.
