Erneut Bombendrohungen gegen mehrere Flüge in Europa – eine Maschine in Wien notgelandet
What happened
Bomb threats hit at least 25 flights across Europe on Thursday, forcing several planes to divert and make unscheduled landings; none of the threats has proved genuine so far, according to Der Standard.
A Wizz Air Airbus A321 flying from Milan to Warsaw landed in Vienna after a threat, and an Aer Lingus plane from Dublin to Rome set down at the French air base at Evreux.
Vienna airport received an abstract email threat against four flights to and from the city, police spokesman Stefan Loidl told the APA news agency.
Austria scrambled Eurofighter jets, while Italian military aircraft escorted a Finnair plane from Helsinki to Rome and Bulgarian fighters escorted three Ryanair planes.
Similar incidents were also reported in Denmark, Spain and the Czech Republic, and at least seven flights and a cruise ship had received threats on Tuesday.
EU Transport Commissioner Apostolos Tzitzikostas said it was too early to say whether the incidents are linked, and the EU has activated a mechanism for sharing aviation security information.
“The national investigations are ongoing.”
