A passenger was arrested after he was heard saying "I think this airline should be bombed" as he was boarding a plane at Phuket International Airport on Monday.
The incident occurred about 12.10pm as Mike Wims, 26, a Thai from Ayutthaya, was boarding a Thai Vietjet flight to Suvarnabhumi.
Airline employee Jitpisut Prom-in was checking his boarding pass. As she was handing it back to him Mr Mike allegedly said, "I think this airline should be bombed."
Ms Jitpisut was frightened by the comment and asked her colleague to inform airport security.
Mr Mike was held by airport security and charged with making a false remark which may cause panic.
Mr Mike admitted he had made a "slip of the tongue" out of anger.
Although he did not say what made him angry, it was believed he was frustrated by a flight delay.
