Bomb threats on European flights: what do we know so far?

This week, at least 28 flights across Europe faced disruptions due to bomb threats, with Ryanair being the most affected airline. The incidents began with a Wizz Air flight diversion and escalated to multiple threats impacting various airports. All threats have been confirmed as false alarms, with no suspicious findings reported. The EU transport commissioner emphasized the unacceptability of threats against civilians, while aviation experts noted the unusual frequency of these incidents. Anonymous emails claiming explosive devices were sent to several airports, prompting serious responses from authorities, including fighter-jet escorts. Airlines are concerned about potential copycat threats and the disruptions they cause.
