A flight bound for New York from Cairo, Egypt, landed in Scotland after a passenger found a threatening note on board, according to officials.

Egyptair flight 985 from Cairo to New York landed at Glasgow's Prestwick Airport Saturday afternoon, a spokesman for the airport said.

Airline staff told NBC News the diversion was caused by the discovery of a note, written in English, that was found in a bathroom and posed a threat to the aircraft.

The flight was sitting on the tarmac for more than two hours with passengers still on board.
