Ryanair among airlines hit by bomb threats as fighter jets scrambled

Bomb threats across Europe on Tuesday, November 3, disrupted multiple flights, including four Ryanair services, forcing diversions and heightened security. One LOT Polish Airlines flight from London Heathrow to Warsaw (LO286) was redirected to Warsaw Modlin Airport after a suspected device was reported aboard; the plane landed with 181 passengers, Modlin briefly closed, and officials later found no suspicious items. At Murcia in Spain, a Ryanair service from Manchester prompted an emergency response and searches after a written threat; the Guardia Civil later found no explosives on board. In Bulgaria, a Ryanair Dublin-to-Sofia flight landed without diversion after no explosives were found. Authorities said all threats were hoaxes.
