Another bomb threat in Europe: Ryanair plane lands under security

A Ryanair flight from Manchester to Murcia landed under security following a bomb threat. Passengers were evacuated for checks, and scans concluded with no findings. The incident joins a series of similar threats in Europe.

A Ryanair flight from Manchester, UK, to Murcia, Spain, landed under heavy security following a bomb threat received about 25 minutes before landing. The aircraft, a Boeing 737 MAX 8-200, carried 114 passengers and seven crew members. Upon landing, passengers and crew were evacuated to a secure area for security checks. Spanish police, Civil Guard, firefighting teams, and TEDAX bomb disposal experts were dispatched to the scene. Airport operations were suspended for two hours. After scans, no explosives were found and the threat was deemed a false alarm. The incident joins a series of similar threats in recent days against flights in Europe, including LOT and SAS in Poland, Ryanair in Italy and Bulgaria, all without findings. Additionally, a security incident occurred at Ben Gurion Airport on a KLM flight.
