Police respond to unfounded bomb threat at Vancouver International Airport

  • Richmond RCMP responded on Sunday, May 11, to bomb threat reports targeting a flight departing from Vancouver International Airport.
  • The threats arose from anonymous emails sent to both YVR staff and a local news agency, coinciding with another threat at Waterfront Station hours earlier.
  • RCMP and YVR staff conducted a thorough inspection of the flight and determined there was no reliable indication of a bomb, resulting in minimal disruption with only the specific flight being delayed.
  • Investigators consider the emails potential "swatting" calls, defined as false violent crime reports to emergency services, with RCMP emphasizing the seriousness of these threats.
  • The Richmond RCMP continues to investigate the incident and urges anyone with information to contact them, referencing file number 2025-14689.
