Bomb threats against multiple European flights on November 3, 2026 turned out to be hoaxes, prompting diversions and airport closures but no injuries.

Several flights across Europe received bomb threats on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, including LOT, Scandinavian Airlines, and Ryanair flights bound for Warsaw, Rome, and Murcia. All planes landed safely, security checks found no explosives, and Warsaw's Modlin airport was temporarily closed. The threats followed a Monday emergency landing in Budapest of a Wizz Air flight from Luton.
