The man had threatened in note to have a bomb strapped to his body during the journey from Turkey to St Petersburg in Russia.
The assailant was then detained by fellow ticketholders aboard the Airbus A-320, which safely landed at its destination at 1120 GMT.
"The passenger claimed to have a bomb and wanted to divert the plane to a destination of his choice... The person was subdued and put under control," Orhan Birdal, the head of Turkey's airports management authority, said.
