Bomb threats reach third consecutive day across European aviation

Aeroflap reported that Portuguese authorities found no bomb or other threatening device during the inspection of the Ryanair aircraft. The report said the alert led to a further security operation involving the aircraft after it landed. The supplied sources do not establish whether the threat was credible or what operational consequences, if any, followed for the flight.

The Lisbon incident was reported amid fresh alerts in Denmark, the Czech Republic, France, Italy and Portugal, according to Aviation24.be. Danish police said they were investigating threats directed at air traffic at Copenhagen Airport, while the airport continued operating normally. Aviation24.be reported that an initial assessment indicated no immediate danger to passengers there.

In Prague, Aviation24.be reported that police received threats involving four arriving and five departing flights. The outlet said no explosives were found and that the alerts did not directly result in cancellations or diversions. It also reported that a Wizz Air flight from Prague to Rome was later diverted to Venice, where it landed safely.

Aviation24.be also reported that French authorities had confirmed four new threats involving aircraft flying over French territory and that all affected aircraft landed safely. Across the aircraft inspected so far, the outlet said, no explosives had been discovered and no injuries had been reported.

The sequence follows earlier alerts affecting European flights, but the available reporting does not establish who was behind the threats or whether all of the incidents were connected. The origin of the alerts, their full operational impact and whether explosives were found in aircraft other than those specifically described remain unestablished in the supplied material.
