All 283 passengers were seen leaving the plane around 10:30am.

Port of San Diego Harbor Police confirmed that a bomb threat was made against the airline, according to FOX 5.

Emergency services rushed to the scene and were seen surrounding the aircraft as the passengers left.

A spokesperson said: “During pushback from the gate, a guest was overheard making a threat to the safety of our aircraft.

“In a precautionary move, the captain swiftly directed the Airbus A330 to a secure area on the airfield, where it was greeted by local and federal law enforcement officials, and the passengers were safely evacuated.”

One passenger filmed heavily armed cops on board the plane as they combed the aircraft for an explosive.

The video was captioned: “Bomb threat was called on the plane.”

It is understood that the flight has been moved to a secure location and is being checked by K9 units.

The airport is currently operating as normal, and other flights have not been impacted.

It comes after a Ryanair jet was forced to land after a bomb threat was activated mid-air.

Bomb alert on Ryanair plane carrying 170 passengers as holiday flight lands in Belgium & ‘cordon set up’

Cops began investigating a potential threat after the flight carrying 170 passengers landed in Belgium.

A member of staff said that a bomb threat was triggered on the aircraft that forced it to land at Charleroi Airport.

It is understood that the plane was flying from Porto, Portugal. 

In February, Delta Air Lines passengers had to evacuate a plane by emergency slide during a scary landing at an airport in Atlanta.

The Boeing 717-200 was going to Columbia Metropolitan Airport in South Carolina when smoke suddenly filled the plane cabin.

When it landed, all 94 passengers, two pilots, and three flight attendants were forced to escape the aircraft using the emergency exit slides.

Shocking photos showed passengers standing on the left wing of the plane clutching their belongings as they tried to get to safety.

The Federal Aviation Administration noted: “Delta Air Lines Flight 876 successfully returned to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport at approximately 9 am local time on Monday, February 24, after the crew noted potential smoke in the cockpit.”

Crew members reported the smoke shortly after takeoff, with an emergency declared to get priority handling from air traffic control.

Footage showed passengers using their clothes to cover their faces as the terrifying haze filled the cabin.

The airline said teams brought customers to the terminal via ground transportation and were working to get them rebooked on other flights.

A Delta representative informed The Sun: “The flight crew adhered to protocols to return to Atlanta upon noticing a haze inside the aircraft post-departure.”

“Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and people, and we apologize to our customers for the experience.”
