Three passenger flights were inspected after bomb threats in Poland and Spain, two after landing in Warsaw and one at Murcia in southern Spain, the BBC reported on Tuesday. A Boeing 737 Max from London Heathrow made an unscheduled landing at Warsaw Modlin, which later said air operations had resumed, a Ryanair flight from Manchester with 121 people on board including crew was inspected at Murcia, and a flight from Copenhagen to Warsaw Chopin had landed safely on Sunday after a similar threat. The cases follow a Wizz Air flight from London Luton that made an emergency landing in Budapest a day earlier, escorted by a Hungarian fighter jet, where security checks found nothing.
Three flights inspected in Poland and Spain after bomb threats
Three passenger flights were inspected after bomb threats in Poland and Spain, two at Warsaw airports and one at Murcia, in the latest in a run of threats against flights from British airports.
Why it matters: No device has been reported found in the recent cases, but the pattern is repeatedly diverting aircraft, closing airport areas and tying up security services across several European countries.
