According to a Turkish Airlines spokesperson, the plane will continue to its final destination in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Last week, another Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul to Tokyo had to turn back shortly after take-off because of a note with the words 'C4 Cargo', a reference to the plastic explosive C4, was found on plane's lavatory door. However, no explosives had been found on the airplane.
