A Germanwings flight bound for Italy from Germany was evacuated late on Sunday due to a bomb threat.
Germanwings has been in the spotlight since one of its planes crashed into a mountain in the French Alps last month, killing everyone on board.
Germanwings said the pilot of flight 4U 826 to Milan was taxiing to the runway when he received a call from air traffic control at Cologne/Bonn airport to abort the flight.
Passengers and crew vacated the Airbus A320 in an orderly fashion, it said, adding federal police had received the bomb threat.
A total of 132 people were aboard the plane, including 126 passengers and six crew members, Spiegel-Online reported.
An examination of the baggage and the aircraft itself yielded no results, Germanwings said in a separate statement later on Sunday evening.
Germanwings said passengers would be able to fly to Milan on a different aircraft on Sunday night while the searched plane has been cleared for use.
