Bomb hoaxes across Europe disrupt flights

A wave of bomb threats has impacted flights across Europe for the second time this week. They are just hoaxes but the bad thing is they are coming in bunches. The threats have targeted airlines from Ireland to Romania. One Irish flight was diverted to a French airbase where it was checked and cleared. Obviously this is a huge concern for the Irish government and indeed right across the European Union. Even though none of the threats has turned out to be real, they've still caused inconvenience and unnerved passengers. We're very concerned about the security in Europe in general, so it's very fearful to be here, but it's okay. I think everything is under control. On Tuesday, at least seven flights were hit by similar threats and no explosives were found. Regardless of how genuine it is or not, they all treat it as a genuine one. Just for the safety of passengers, inspect the planes, ground the flights, and get them to guide if they're on ground. What's unusual here isn't just the number of threats. So far, at least 25 flights today have been targeted, but also that the threats appear coordinated. Hybrid warfare is a new thing for aviation. Airports, airlines, they have to Kind of understand this and also deal with it in a new way. Russia has been waging a widespread hybrid war against Ukraine's European allies, including targeting Leipzig airport and a Ukrainian cargo plane. But European authorities have not said they believe the Kremlin is behind these hoaxes.
