Thirty-two bomb threats targeted a dozen airlines in four days, forcing planes to be escorted by fighter jets, inspected in flight and diverted to other airports, sometimes abroad. All turned out to be false, but each threat imposes the same security procedure, according to former pilot and expert Marco Chan, cited by MyJoyOnline.

At least seven European flights were diverted or inspected after bomb alerts in Italy, Poland, Spain and Bulgaria, with no explosives found, according to La Presse de Tunisie, citing The Guardian. In a separate incident, an alert targeted the cruise ship Crown Iris in the Greek port of Syros, with no explosive device found in initial checks.
Bomb threats targeted at least ten European airlines and led to the temporary closure of an airport in Warsaw. At least four Ryanair flights were affected, but no explosives were found and all aircraft landed without incident, according to France 24 Afrique.
