The threats were reported across several European countries, including Poland, Spain, Bulgaria and Italy, with aircraft searched for explosives and some flights diverted or escorted. European authorities are investigating the source and credibility of the messages; available reporting indicates malicious hoaxes remain a leading possibility, though the recurrence of incidents this week has increased pressure on governments and airlines to strengthen screening and coordination. The disruption comes amid broader protests and security concerns in France and elsewhere in Europe.
