Rise in Fake Bomb Threats
Twelve bomb threats targeting European flights triggered security alerts, flight diversions and a temporary airport closure. No explosives were found, and no links between the reports were established. Four threats targeted Ryanair flights, while data from India shows how widespread the phenomenon has become: threats rose from 13 in 2022 to 728 in 2024. Such reports are difficult to ignore before aircraft and airports are searched, giving those who make them the ability to disrupt travel at relatively little cost. Media coverage may encourage copycat threats, though it does not by itself explain every case.
