A Wizz Air flight from London Luton Airport to Sofia faced a bomb threat mid-flight on November 2, 2026, leading it to make an emergency landing at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport. A Hungarian Gripen fighter jet escorted the aircraft as part of security protocols. The plane diverted after departing from London and was forced to land in Budapest before continuing its journey. Security checks were carried out on both the aircraft and passengers, with Wizz Air confirming that no suspicious items were found during the inspection. The airline stated that they would allow the flight to resume shortly afterward, ensuring passenger safety remained their top priority.
