Suspicious device

Here’s the text to the listening from yesterday.

Enjoy!!

An A330 was on approach to Manchester airport from Doha when the crew received a warning about a suspicious device on the plane. A military jet was sent to follow the plane on its approach to Manchester airport. The plane landed safely and taxied to a remote area for emergency services to check the plane. The airport was closed for safety reasons. Some time later a passenger was arrested for making a bomb hoax threat, but the other passengers were allowed to leave the airport and the airport opened again for landings and departures.
