New Delhi, Nov 22 (IBNS): The Turkish Airlines flight from New York City to Istanbul was on Sunday diverted and landed in Canada after it received a bomb threat, reports said.

Halifax Stanfield International Airport said on its Twitter Handle that Flight 2 with 256 people on board had landed safely and that police were at the scene.
