By the time the plane had been cleared, the crew had reached their maximum number of hours and were unable to fly the plane.
So passengers were given overnight accommodation and the flight only took off this morning.
A police spokesman said the note "initially caused concern to the cabin crew" but added there was no danger at any time to the passengers, crew or aircraft.
