European air traffic targeted by new threats after a week of hoaxes

BERLIN (AP) — Officials across Europe reported a fresh slew of bomb threats against multiple flights on Friday, following a string of hoaxes that have caused flight diversions this week. Two broadcasters also received security threats.No suspicious items were found and no one was injured, but the threats have raised concern because they came as Europe digests other recent disruptions — including attacks on supermarket refrigeration systems and drone incursions.Overall, the threats have caused minimal disruption to aviation across the continent, according to the European air traffic authority. Eurocontrol said it was aware of bomb threats against 14 flights on Thursday — only 0.05% of all of the nearly 26,300 flights across the European network that day — and seven on Tuesday.In Hungary, the defense minister said military fighter jets escorted three separate passenger planes Friday across the country’s airspace within an hour after each received bomb threats.
