Multiple planes diverted as bomb threats to commercial flights reported across Europe – live

Over the course of 24 hours, six separate flights in Europe were targeted by bomb threats, according to recent reports. The incidents involved flights operated by Ryanair, Scandinavian Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, and Wizz Air. The threats led to various responses, including diversions and security checks, but all targeted flights eventually reached their destinations after being cleared by authorities.

The affected flights included two Ryanair flights to Rome, two flights to Poland and Italy, one flight to Spain, one flight to Bulgaria, and one flight to the Czech Republic. One of the threatened flights was even diverted, while the others proceeded to their destinations before undergoing thorough security checks.

The incidents followed a Wizz Air flight from London Luton to Sofia, which was diverted to Budapest after a bomb threat was received during the flight. Wizz Air stated that they are cooperating fully with the authorities and prioritize the safety of their passengers and crew. This series of events has raised concerns about the security of flights in Europe and the potential threats faced by airlines and passengers.
