Bomb-threat alerts affected flights operated by Ryanair, Wizz Air, LOT Polish Airlines and SAS across Europe on 3 November, prompting aircraft inspections, an unscheduled landing and a temporary suspension of operations at Warsaw-Modlin. The incidents involved services between Manchester and Murcia, Dublin and Sofia, Bergamo and Sofia, London and Warsaw, and Copenhagen and Warsaw. Inspections reported by authorities found no explosives in the cases described.
LOT’s London–Warsaw flight landed at Warsaw-Modlin rather than Warsaw-Chopin after a threat alert. The airport suspended operations while the aircraft was checked, reopening around midday. An SAS flight from Copenhagen landed normally at Warsaw-Chopin and was inspected; Polish authorities said its threat was not confirmed.
In Italy, Ryanair flights arriving in Rome were searched, with one escorted by the Italian Air Force. The Manchester–Murcia service triggered a security response at the Spanish airport, where the regional government delegate reported that forces had ruled out explosives. The Ryanair flight from Dublin and Wizz Air’s Bergamo–Sofia service both landed safely and were inspected, with Bulgaria’s transport ministry reporting no explosive devices found.
The alerts followed a separate incident on 2 November, when a Wizz Air flight from London to Sofia diverted to Budapest after a threat. That earlier event was not among the 3 November flights described above.
