Quick Summary

On Thursday, at least eight flights across Europe faced bomb threats, leading to emergency landings or diversions in places like Evreux air base, Rome, and Vienna. Among the affected airlines are Aer Lingus and WizzAir; the latter reported two of its flights from Milan as targets. One flight to Warsaw diverted safely to Vienna, while another to Bucharest landed without incident at its destination. The number of passengers ranged from 144 to 177 per flight, with all arriving safely despite security checks and evacuations by bomb disposal teams.

Story summary

On November 3, 2026, Warsaw-Modlin Airport closed temporarily after a bomb threat was reported on a LOT Polish Airlines flight from London Heathrow Airport to Warsaw Chopin Airport, which diverted and landed safely at Modlin instead. The airport remained closed while security services verified the threat; it later reopened and resumed normal operations. Approximately 181 passengers were onboard the affected flight. Around the same time, an SAS Scandinavian Airlines flight from Copenhagen also reported a bomb threat but proceeded to land normally at Chopin Airport without disrupting its operations further. These incidents are part of a broader wave of similar threats affecting multiple flights across Europe in recent days, all currently believed to be hoaxes.
