Bomb threats put three planes under inspection in Warsaw and Murcia, one carrying 181 people

Two passenger planes are being inspected after landing in Warsaw, Poland, and a third made an emergency landing in Murcia, Spain, following a series of bomb threats.

A flight from London Heathrow made an unscheduled landing at Warsaw Modlin airport, where it was being inspected by specialists. It had been en route to Warsaw's main airport, Chopin, with 181 people on board.

Warsaw Modlin airport, which is used mainly by budget airlines, said a Boeing 737 Max aircraft had landed at 10:01 local time (09:01 GMT) and that passengers had later disembarked. It said air operations had resumed and that the plane subjected to a possible bomb threat was being checked by the relevant authorities.

A second flight, from Copenhagen to Chopin airport, also faced a bomb threat, Danish media reported. That flight landed as normal.

A spokesman for Chopin airport said one of the runways on the airport apron had been closed, but operations were not significantly impacted.

Meanwhile, a Ryanair plane from Manchester made an emergency landing at Murcia airport in southern Spain because of another threat. Francisco Lucas, the Spanish government's delegate in the Murcia region, said that flight had 121 people on board, including crew.

Lucas said the plane was being inspected and a security protocol was under way. The local fire brigade said it had also been mobilised for the emergency at Murcia-Corvera airport.

The separate incidents came the day after a Wizz Air flight from London Luton made an emergency landing in Budapest, escorted by a Hungarian fighter jet, after a bomb threat.

Wizz Air said later that security checks had been made on that aircraft and nothing was found.
