The threat was made by a passenger on a Bulgaria Air flight which was preparing to take off for a flight to Varna, Bulgaria.
Two men began arguing when one accused the other of plotting a bomb attack, local media has reported.
The flight crew took this threat seriously and raised the alarm. All flights at the airport were suspended.
Luggage on the flight was also inspected by a bomb squad and sniffer dogs.
Local media are reporting the threat could have been a “bad joke”. This could result in a huge fine for the men involved who will be forced to pay the costs of the cancelled flights.
A police spokesperson said: “In view of the global political situation and the way in which the passenger met us, we had to take the threat seriously.
“During the routine departure check-out, a passenger told us that another passenger had threatened a bombing operation on the aircraft.”
