At least seven flights across Europe hit by bomb threats
At least seven flights across Europe received bomb threats on Tuesday, forcing emergency landings and airport closures, but no explosives were found.
At least seven passenger flights across Europe were targeted by bomb threats on Tuesday, forcing emergency landings and the temporary closure of Warsaw-Modlin Airport in Poland. Two flights departed from the UK: a LOT Polish Airlines plane from London Heathrow diverted to Warsaw-Modlin, and a Ryanair flight from Manchester that landed in Murcia, Spain. Other affected flights originated from Copenhagen, Dublin, Lisbon and Bergamo, with one flight from Israel landing in Sofia, Bulgaria. All planes landed safely and underwent security searches; no explosives were discovered. The British government described the incidents as 'malicious hoax threats'. It is not yet clear whether the threats were coordinated, though some security experts have suggested they could indicate hybrid warfare tactics. The incidents raised concerns about the ease with which flights can be disrupted.
