The number of aircraft threats in Europe has increased significantly during this week, causing flight evasion, emergency landing, and increased security measures at several airports.
Incidents come at a time when Europe has faced this year, even a series of sabotage attacks on various targets, from defence-related infrastructure in the Baltic region to an incident fearing at Leipzig airport in Germany.
hackers have also targeted refrigerators and freezers in supermarkets in some European countries, causing temperatures to rise and damage food products.
So far, no explosive devices have been found and none of the threats have been concreteised.
However, the increase in incidents has raised concerns about air security.
Monday
A Wizz Air company plane flying from London to Sofia was forced to divert to Budapest after taking a bomb threat.
Hungarian combat planes escorted him to a safe landing, while later raids revealed no explosive devices.
Tuesday
At least seven flights to different European destinations reported bomb threats, including two aircraft that were launched from Great Britain.
Warsaw Airport was provisionally closed after an LOT plane, coming from Heathrow with 181 people aboard, reported an alarm for the bomb.
A Ryanair plane, launched by Manchester, made an emergency landing in Murcia, Spain. Among other affected cities were Sofia and Rome.
Thursday
The situation escalated further, with dozens of flights between different international airports from Ireland to Finland reporting bomb threats.
A Ryanair plane, flying from London to Sofia, slipped to another airport in Bulgaria.
And a plane from Aer Lingus, on Dublin-Rome, was forced to land in Normandy, France.
For security reasons, he was taken to a military air base in Evreux.
The British Transport Secretary named the incidents false and malicious threats, while Heathrow Airport claimed the threat was not considered reliable.
However, the International Air Transport Association ( ITA) has called on national authorities to reveal the origin of these threats.
The increase in alarms has turned its attention to aviation security in Europe, while authorities are trying to determine whether the incidents are related. /Telegraphy/
