A series of bomb threats targeted passenger flights across Europe on Tuesday, leading to diversions, emergency inspections and temporary airport disruptions. No explosive devices were discovered aboard any of the affected aircraft.

Ryanair flights from Lisbon and Dublin to Rome’s Fiumicino airport underwent security sweeps after threats were received, with the Dublin flight escorted by the Italian Air Force until landing. Both planes were cleared following checks of passengers, crew and baggage.

In Poland, a LOT Polish Airlines flight from London Heathrow to Warsaw was diverted to Modlin airport, where it was searched. A separate Scandinavian Airlines flight from Copenhagen to Warsaw landed as scheduled but was also inspected. Modlin airport closed briefly during the operations before reopening.

Additional incidents involved a Ryanair flight from Manchester to Murcia in Spain, which landed normally before security teams conducted sweeps. In Bulgaria, threats were reported against flights from Bergamo, Italy, and Dublin to Sofia, prompting inspections upon arrival.

The events followed a Monday incident in which a Wizz Air flight from London Luton to Sofia was diverted to Budapest after a bomb threat, with the plane escorted by a Hungarian fighter jet.

The UK government described threats against flights departing from London Heathrow and Manchester as a “malicious hoax.” Officials in multiple countries confirmed that all Tuesday threats proved unfounded, with no injuries reported and normal operations resuming at affected airports.

The incidents involved at least seven flights and highlighted ongoing vulnerabilities in European air travel security. Airlines including Ryanair, Wizz Air, LOT and SAS confirmed the threats were handled through standard protocols.
