TEHRAN – Passengers were evacuated from a British Airways airplane at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris on Sunday morning “for a security reason”, an airport official said.
Flight BA303 was due to take off and fly to London’s Heathrow airport when the plane was evacuated, the official said, Reuters reported.
“The incident is being dealt with,” the official added, without going into further detail.

“The pilot then said there had been a direct security threat involving our flight,” the passenger said.
