Another Bomb Threat Sparks Emergency Landing of London-Bound Flight in Poland

A passenger plane traveling from London, United Kingdom, to Warsaw, Poland, has made an emergency landing following a bomb threat.

Reuters reported that a bomb threat alert was issued at 9:54 AM aboard a Boeing 737 MAX operated by LOT Polish Airlines, which had departed from London Heathrow Airport bound for Warsaw Chopin Airport. The aircraft made an emergency landing seven minutes later at Modlin Airport, just outside Warsaw.

Authorities have closed Modlin Airport and are inspecting the aircraft for explosives.

Airport officials stated that there were 181 people on board and that safety measures are currently underway.

Airport officials also announced that a bomb threat was received earlier in the day for a Scandinavian Airlines passenger flight traveling from Copenhagen, Denmark, to Warsaw. That aircraft landed at Chopin Airport and is currently being searched.

Following an attempted hijacking by a co-pilot aboard a flydubai passenger flight traveling from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to Tel Aviv, Israel, on September 30, bomb and hijacking threats have continued to occur on flights operating across Europe.

The previous day, a Wizz Air passenger flight that took off from London Luton Airport bound for Sofia, Bulgaria, was forced to divert its route due to a bomb threat and landed at Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport in Hungary.

Wizz Air confirmed that no explosives were found following a search and resumed the flight to Sofia.

Last month, hijacking and bomb alerts were issued for passenger flights operated by Turkey's Corendon Airlines and Austrian Airlines, prompting emergency landings and the scramble of fighter jets.
