More than 200 people have been evacuated following a bomb scare at an Airbus factory in France.

A suspicious package was found at the plane manufacturer’s main assembly line in Toulouse sparking a terror alert.

The plant usually has a number of Airbus Broughton staff working at the site but it is not yet known if anyone was caught up in the scare.

The item – believed to be a box containing three cans of fizzy pop connected with wires – raised suspicions that it could be a homemade bomb.

It was found in the engine of an Airbus A330 that was still being built.

But police and bomb squad experts who arrived at the scene and examined the threat said no explosives were present.

Airbus employs over 6,000 people at it’s Broughton factory in Flintshire where it makes wings for the planes.

They are then transported via one of the iconic Beluga aircrafts to the site in Toulouse.

The A380 wings, which are too big to fly, are taken instead by land, rail or boat.

It is the latest terror scare following the attacks in Paris last week which left 129 people dead.

Yesterday, a pub landlord from North Wales was caught up in the Manchester Airport bomb hoax drama.

Ed Griffiths and wife Laura, who run the Panton Arms in Pentraeth, Anglesey, had just taken their seats on the Morocco-bound easyJet flight when an announcement was made by the captain.

Ed who was celebrating his 42nd birthday, told the Daily Post how he and his wife were seated in the middle of the plane when the call was made to evacuate the aircraft after a passenger claimed to have a bomb in his bag.

Two men, aged 45 and 46, were arrested on suspicion of making a bomb hoax.
