## Key points

- Warsaw airport closed after a bomb threat on a Heathrow flight.
- Around 118 passengers were on board; the plane landed safely.
- A separate London to Sofia flight diverted to Budapest the previous day.

## Summary

A flight from London to Warsaw was diverted to Warsaw Chopin Airport after a bomb threat, prompting the airport to close while security forces checked the report. The plane landed safely, and the incident matters because it is the second reported bomb threat affecting a London-bound or departing passenger flight in two days.

About 118 people were understood to be aboard the LOT Polish Airlines flight from Heathrow. The previous day, a Wizz Air flight from London Luton to Sofia turned back over Bosnia and Herzegovina and landed safely in Budapest, escorted by a Hungarian fighter jet; checks found nothing suspicious.
