Passengers and crew on a Saudi Arabian Airlines flight were evacuated at Madrid's Barajas International Airport today, reports Reuters.

Spanish authorities made the swift decision after a note was found threatening  that a bomb was on the Riyadh bound jet before take-off. 

Spain's airport operator Aena said it had later downgraded the alarm from general to local, meaning the alert would not affect other flights.

An investigation is being carried out.
