A passenger plane traveling from London to Warsaw had to make an unscheduled landing at Modlin airport due to a bomb threat. The LOT Polish Airlines flight initially departed from London Heathrow and was meant to arrive at Warsaw Chopin Airport, but was redirected, landing at 10:01 a.m., according to Reuters.
Additionally, a flight from Copenhagen bound for Chopin Airport also encountered a bomb threat. However, it was able to land without any incident on Tuesday, as reported by Danish media.
In a separate event, a Ryanair flight, which had departed from Manchester, made an emergency landing at Murcia airport in southern Spain after another bomb threat. Spanish government delegate for the Murcia region, Francisco Lucas, stated on X that safety protocols were initiated due to the threat. The 114 passengers and 7 crew members disembarked and underwent security checks while the aircraft was inspected.
One day prior, a Wizz Air flight from London Luton to Sofia, Bulgaria, made an emergency landing in Budapest following a bomb threat. Security checks later determined this to be a false alarm. Furthermore, Bulgarian media reported on Tuesday about another instance involving a plane from Israel to Sofia, which had to land due to a bomb threat.
The series of incidents highlights a concerning pattern, with more flights being affected by similar threats across Europe. Updates are expected as the situation develops.
