It is not just the first or second day, but now the third day this week that flights around Europe have been subjected to bomb threats.

This morning, Copenhagen Police stated that police again responded to Copenhagen Airport following threats against flights. Meanwhile, operations at the airport were unaffected.

However, neither the police nor Copenhagen Airport will provide further details.

When police and the Danish Defence's Ammunition Disposal Service (EOD) responded to the airport yesterday, it was reported that they investigated a suspicious incident – specifically two flights that had landed at the airport due to threats.

However, nothing was found upon closer inspection.

DR News has tried to reach both parties several times today, but we have not been able to learn more about whether these are threats against multiple flights and whether there is a connection to the announcements from previous days.

DR's reporter Joshua Hollingdale has asked a few travelers at Copenhagen Airport about the new threats:

No danger to travelers

Both yesterday and on Tuesday, a number of flights that were airborne over Europe were subjected to empty bomb threats.

Today as well, reports have come in from several places in Europe:

In Prague, at least eight flights to and from Vaclav Havel Airport have received bomb threats.

These are incoming flights from Denmark, Spain, and the United Kingdom – and outgoing flights to the Netherlands, Cyprus, Romania, Italy, and the United Kingdom, confirms airport spokesperson Denisa Hejtmánková to AFP, writes The Guardian.

A flight from Rome to Lisbon has also been the subject of a bomb threat.

In France, four flights have received bomb threats. They have landed and are being inspected by bomb disposal units, according to the office of France's Prime Minister, as reported by Reuters.

It is unknown whether today's incident in Copenhagen can be linked to the other incidents.

The police have completed their work at the airport and assess that there has been or is no danger to either passengers or others in the airport.

No one has claimed responsibility for the threats so far.
