Bomb threats on airplanes. Brussels activates information exchange mechanism

Apostolos Tzitzikostas reported that the Commission is closely monitoring recent incidents involving bomb threats against passenger planes across Europe. He discussed potential aviation security implications with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency. Tzitzikostas emphasized that it is too early to determine if the incidents are connected and noted that investigations are being conducted at the national level. The European Commission stated that national authorities are primarily responsible for assessing threats and implementing security measures. A series of bomb threats were reported on Thursday, affecting flights including LOT Polish Airlines and Wizz Air, with some alerts later found to be false.
