A false alarm prompted Philippine police to surround a Saudi Arabian Airlines plane at Manila airport on Tuesday, an airline spokesman said.
There was a "false alarm for hijack for Flight 872," the spokesman told AFP in the Saudi capital Riyadh.
The airline, known as Saudia, gave the same information on its Twitter account, adding that the aircraft had flown to Manila from the Saudi Red Sea city of Jeddah.
Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines spokesman Eric Apolonio said earlier that the plane had been "isolated" on the runway after reports it was "under threat".
