A Spirit Airlines jet bound for Minneapolis on Thursday was forced to return to Fort Lauderdale due to a passenger's confusion.

The Sun Sentinel reports that someone aboard Spirit Flight 596 reported hearing another passenger talking about a bomb on the phone. The Airbus A320 returned to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, where its 92 passengers and six crew members safely disembarked.

The Broward Sheriff's Office said two people were thought to be involved in the alleged threat. The men were interviewed by federal authorities at the district office, where it was determined that one man had no connection to the threat.

The man who was overheard on the phone was also later released with no charges.

"After an exhaustive interview, the agents determined there was no actual threat made to the flight, and that the incident was the result of miscommunication between the witness passengers, the flight crew, and the pilot," the Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

Airport security swept the plane for possible explosives, but turned nothing up.

Spirit Airlines also released a statement through the Broward County Aviation Department, saying the appropriate measures were taken during the incident.

"The consequences of not acting or responding to a potential threat can be catastrophic once the plane is in the air," the statement read.

The flight later resumed normal operations, arriving in Minneapolis later that morning.

People have been on edge in light of recent world events, including a series of terror attacks in Paris last Friday, in which Islamic State gunmen and suicide bombers killed 129 people.

Last month, a Russian Metrojet plane exploded in midair over the Sinai Peninsula, killing all 224 people onboard. The ISIS militant group took responsibility for the attack, and Russian security later confirmed that the crash was the result of a bomb smuggled aboard the plane.

Earlier this week, two Air France flights were diverted after someone called in an anonymous bomb threat. The threat was later determined to be a hoax.
