Warsaw Modlin Airport has resumed operations following a bomb threat that disrupted flights, though a section of the airport where a London flight was parked remained under security checks. The incident is part of a broader wave of false alarms affecting air travel across Europe, with at least seven flights reportedly targeted by similar threats.
Authorities confirmed that all affected aircraft landed safely and no explosives were found. The threats prompted unplanned landings and temporary airport closures, including at Warsaw Modlin, which was initially shut down after a threat concerning a flight from London. Other flights from the UK, including Manchester and Copenhagen, as well as one from Israel, were also affected by these security alerts, with investigations ongoing.
