Finland’s flag carrier and hub airline
Since early November multiple European passenger flights have received bomb threats by phone or email, forcing searches, diversions and military escorts. Authorities have inspected dozens of aircraft across at least 16 countries; no explosives or injuries have been reported. Officials and analysts say the incidents look coordinated and are treating them as malicious hoaxes.
Multiple European flights have been diverted or searched following a wave of hoax threats across borders. Airports in several countries have reported disruptions, with authorities investigating possible links to hybrid warfare and state actors.
Since Tuesday, at least seven passenger flights across Europe have reported bomb threats. Authorities have searched aircraft in Poland, Italy, Spain, Bulgaria and elsewhere; fighter jets have escorted at least one flight and a Warsaw airport briefly closed. All planes have landed safely and searches have found no explosives.
Bomb threats across multiple European flights have prompted police searches, emergency landings and diversions. Finnair Flight 1761 to Rome and several Ryanair routes were affected; some aircraft were escorted by authorities. No explosives have been found so far, and most flights have resumed normal operations.
