Multiple Hoax Bomb Threats Disrupt Flights Across Europe

A series of hoax bomb threats targeted multiple commercial aircraft and a cruise ship across Europe on Tuesday, causing flight diversions, airport closures, and military escorts. Authorities confirmed that no explosives were found following security sweeps of the affected vessels and aircraft.

Aviation Disruptions and Military Escorts

Several airlines were affected by the threats, including Ryanair, Wizz Air, Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), and LOT Polish Airlines.

In Italy, the Italian Air Force scrambled two Eurofighter jets to intercept and escort a Ryanair flight traveling from Dublin to Rome’s Fiumicino Airport. A second Ryanair flight from Lisbon also landed at Fiumicino and underwent security checks; officials found no explosives.

In Poland, a LOT flight from London’s Heathrow Airport to Warsaw’s Chopin Airport was diverted to Modlin Airport. Modlin Airport was temporarily closed during the search, but Adam Szablowski, a spokesperson for the airport, said, ‘Nothing was found’ and normal operations resumed.

Another flight, an SAS service from Copenhagen to Warsaw, landed at Chopin Airport. Alexandra Lindgren Kaoukji, a spokesperson for SAS, told the Polish news agency PAP, ‘The passengers disembarked, the plane landed normally; it was not an emergency landing.’

In Bulgaria, two flights arriving in Sofia from Bergamo, Italy, and Dublin, Ireland, were inspected by counter-terrorism officers. Bulgarian Minister of Transportation Georgi Peev stated that no explosives were found on either aircraft.

In Spain, a Ryanair flight from Manchester landed at Murcia Airport, where authorities conducted inspections and found no explosives.
