Several flights across Europe were targeted by bomb threats on Tuesday. Six flights were affected in Italy, Poland, Spain and Bulgaria, prompting specialist teams to carry out security checks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Two aircraft were inspected at Rome\u2019s Fiumicino Airport in Italy following anonymous reports of possible bomb threats. Bomb disposal experts searched the aircraft, luggage and passengers but found no explosives. The alert was subsequently lifted.<\/p>\n\n

In Poland, a LOT flight from London to Warsaw landed at Modlin Airport instead of Chopin Airport, IPN<\/a> reports. The aircraft, which had 181 people on board, was inspected by specialists.<\/p>\n\n

Modlin Airport later reopened, although access to some areas remained temporarily restricted. Another flight, from Copenhagen to Warsaw, received a similar threat but landed on schedule.<\/p>\n\n

In Spain, a Ryanair flight from Manchester to Murcia made an emergency landing following a bomb threat. There were 121 people on board, including crew members. Spain\u2019s Civil Guard searched the aircraft and confirmed that there were no explosives, and the airport resumed normal operations. Meanwhile, Bulgarian media reported an emailed threat targeting a plane that had arrived from Israel and landed at Sofia Airport.<\/p>\n\n

The incidents occurred a day after a Wizz Air plane flying from London to Sofia was forced to make an emergency landing<\/a> in Budapest following a bomb threat received during the flight. The aircraft was escorted by a Hungarian Air Force fighter jet. Checks carried out by the authorities found no explosives on board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
