CEO of popular airline reveals: "14 of our flights received bomb threats in one week"

The CEO of Wizz Air revealed that 14 of the company's flights received bomb threats in one week, part of a wave of more than 50 threats across Europe. Varadi called on the European Union to intervene and defined the phenomenon as hybrid warfare. The disclosure comes against the backdrop of financial reports showing a 66.6% drop in net profit.

The CEO of low-cost airline Wizz Air, József Váradi, revealed that 14 of the company's flights received bomb threats within one week, between November 2 and 8, and two of them were forced to divert from their routes. The remarks were made against the backdrop of reports of more than 50 flights affected by similar threats across Europe. In an interview with the Financial Times, Váradi called on European countries to formulate a joint security response, defining the phenomenon as part of "hybrid warfare." He appealed to the European Commission demanding coordination between countries, although the identity of those behind the threats has not yet been proven. The disclosure comes against the backdrop of the publication of Wizz Air's financial reports, which indicated growing pressure on the company's profitability: net profit fell by 66.6% to approximately €108 million, despite a 26.2% surge in passenger numbers to 46.1 million.
