From @SouthendAirport on Twitter:A passenger's mobile phone plugged into a shaving socket sparked a panic and an emergency landing at Dublin airport, says the Irish Times.
The pilot requested permission to make an emergency landing of the Delta Airlines flight 767-300 due to concerns about 'suspicious activity' in the cabin. It was also reported that a 'suspect device' had been found in the passenger toilet.
It is understood, however, that the 'suspicious device' turned out to be a mobile phone that had been plugged into a shaving outlet in the passenger toilet and left wrapped in its cable. The emergency has now been stood down and no arrests were made.
Dublin Airport has told ITV News that it has 'stood down' the emergency status of Delta Airlines flight 767-300.
