For the second time in a week, bomb threats are received for flights in Europe

This week, multiple passenger flights in Europe received bomb threats, prompting early landings and security measures. Aer Lingus flight EI402 was redirected to Évreux, while three planes in Bulgaria made emergency landings due to threats. Czech authorities reported four flights heading to Prague received threats, but their credibility was deemed low. The Italian Air Force escorted a Finnair flight from Helsinki to Rome safely, while another Finnair flight landed in Vienna as planned. LOT Polish Airlines reported a security alert on a flight from Warsaw to Brussels, with no suspicious items found. The threats have been linked to hybrid attacks by Russia and Iran, which both deny involvement.
