FBI warned PSP of bomb threat risks on two TAP flights

The FBI alerted the Portuguese PSP about bomb threats on two TAP flights, which were already en route to Paris and Copenhagen. The threats were dismissed after police protocols were activated. Additionally, a Ryanair flight from Lisbon to Rome also received a bomb threat. This incident is part of a broader wave of false bomb threats affecting European aviation, raising concerns about hybrid attacks. Various European capitals reported similar threats, leading to emergency landings and military escorts for several flights. The European Commission has activated an information-sharing mechanism among member states to coordinate responses to these threats.
