A BOMB scare led to parts of Melbourne Airport, including a Tiger Air plane, to be evacuated last night.
The security scare unfolded from about 10.45pm with passengers warned of a potential bomb threat.
At least one planeload of passengers on board a Tiger Airliner were moved from the plane and boarded buses.
The airport's spokeswoman Anna Gillett said: "We are responding to a security alert directed towards Tiger Air."
She said other airport operations were not affected.
The incident was initially being handled by AFP officers before being handed over to Victoria Police.
Passenger Scott Marquardt tweeted while onboard Tiger Air flight 539 that flight crew warned of a "possible bomb threat".
"So my plane is sitting on the tarmac at Melbourne Airport due to a possible bomb threat," he tweeted.
"Some planes are disembarking but we'll be on ours for a 'lengthy amount of time'."
The operation caused disruption to many passengers, including on other airlines.
Chryssie Lamb took to Twitter, saying: "stuck on the tarmac. Plane not allowed to approach terminal. Incident involving Federal Police but no more info at this stage."
