Rio de Janeiro - An Air France jet made an emergency landing in north-east Brazil after a bomb threat that turned out to be false, local media reported.
The aircraft with 405 passengers and 18 crew was en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris when the control tower received a bomb threat, Brazilian newspaper O Globo reported.
The Boeing 747 was isolated in one sector of the Recife airport after landing, but an inspection found no explosives.
