More Bomb Threats Force Flight Diversions Across Europe
Airlines in Europe were forced to divert several flights on Thursday after new bomb threats. The threats follow a series of warnings that disrupted several airliners earlier this week, leaving passengers facing delays across the continent. Airlines carrying passengers were the main groups affected by the diversions.
Context
Bomb threats against aircraft are treated seriously, so airlines and airports usually divert or hold flights while they check the threat. This causes delays even when no device is found.
