Europe Flights Disrupted By Threats

What happened

Updated 1:58pm ET

Bomb threats disrupted seven flights across Europe on Tuesday, prompting searches and diversions, but authorities found no explosive devices and reported no injuries.
A LOT flight from London to Warsaw was diverted to Modlin airport, which briefly closed before reopening after a search found no explosives.
Authorities searched two Ryanair planes after they landed in Rome, with Italy’s air force escorting the flight from Dublin.
In Spain, parts of Murcia airport were cordoned off after a threat against a Ryanair flight from Manchester, but normal operations resumed after searches found no explosives.
Authorities were still investigating possible connections between the threats, and it remained unclear who was responsible or whether the incidents were coordinated.

How the left told it

Left-leaning outlets emphasized the disruption and the absence of explosives. CNN highlighted diversions and a brief airport closure, while the Los Angeles Times called the threats “hoaxes” and stressed that passengers and crew were unharmed; the Boston Globe likewise focused on searches, diversions and safe outcomes.

How the right told it

Right-leaning outlets emphasized widespread disruption and searches that found no explosives, while some explored possible coordination. The Epoch Times focused on airport operations and safety checks; the Daily Mail asked whether Putin was “stepping up his hybrid war,” while Breitbart noted that no information about potential culprits had been made public.
