The situation is being monitored, a statement from Sébastien Lecornu’s office said.
It comes just days after four passenger flights heading to Poland, Spain and Bulgaria were the target of bomb threats on Tuesday.
All of them landed safely and no explosives were found, authorities said.
Two of the threats involved flights heading for Warsaw. The first was SAS Scandinavian Airlines flight SK751 from Copenhagen, which landed normally at the Polish capital’s main Chopin airport. One runway there was closed while the aircraft was searched.
“The aircraft landed normally in Warsaw and the passengers have disembarked,” the Scandinavian carrier said after confirming a threat had been made against the flight.
The second was a LOT Polish Airlines Boeing 737 MAX flying from London Heathrow. It had been due at Chopin but was diverted to Warsaw Modlin, the city’s second airport, which was closed after the alert.
In Spain, airport operator Aena activated an emergency protocol “due to a bomb alert” on a Ryanair flight from Manchester, in northwest England, to Murcia in the country’s southeast. The plane landed without incident, and the emergency plan was stood down after the Civil Guard had checked the aircraft.
The fourth flight was a Wizz Air service from Bergamo in northern Italy. It was inspected after landing in the Bulgarian capital, Sofia, at 10:10 CET, according to a spokesperson for Bulgaria’s interior ministry.
The UK <a href="https://warsaw.today/uk-government-considers-smart-glasses-ban-over-secret-filming-concerns-2/” title=”UK government considers smart glasses ban over secret filming concerns”>government called the incidents “malicious hoax threats”.
