Hungarian Gripens were alerted three times due to bomb threats involving civilian passenger planes

Hungarian Gripen fighters were alerted three times due to bomb threats involving civil passenger aircraft. The first alert occurred at 9:48 AM for an Airbus A321 flying from Brussels to Sofia, prompting the fighters to escort the plane until it left Hungarian airspace. The second alert at 10:33 AM involved two flights from Prague, heading to Cyprus and Bucharest, which also required escort until they exited Hungary. These incidents are part of a recent wave of bomb threats affecting European air travel, although all threats have been proven false. The situation has raised concerns about panic and disruption in an already strained aviation system.
