## Key points

- Warsaw-Modlin airport briefly closed after a diverted LOT flight was searched.
- Other threats affected flights to Warsaw, Murcia and Sofia.
- The aircraft landed safely; no explosives were found.

## Summary

Bomb threats disrupted several European flights on Tuesday 3 November, briefly closing Warsaw-Modlin airport. A LOT flight from London Heathrow, bound for Warsaw’s main Chopin airport, was diverted to Modlin, where the aircraft was searched. A separate threat concerned an SAS flight from Copenhagen, which landed normally at Chopin. One runway there was temporarily closed for checks, while the airport continued operating. No explosive device was found on either aircraft, and Modlin later reopened.

Alerts also affected a Ryanair flight from Manchester to Murcia in Spain and a Wizz Air flight from Bergamo in Italy to Sofia, Bulgaria. The planes landed safely, and authorities reported finding no explosives. The incidents followed a threat on Monday that caused another Wizz Air flight, travelling from London Luton to Sofia, to divert to Budapest. Authorities have not established who made the threats or whether the incidents are connected.
