Bomb threat against Wizz Air flight – Luftwaffe fighter planes escort the plane

After a bomb threat against a Wizz Air flight from London, the affected plane made an unplanned stopover in Budapest. The plane, which was heading to Sofia, was searched at the Hungarian capital's airport, Wizz Air told the Hungarian news portal "24.hu".

The bomb threat reached the cockpit of the plane while flying through Bosnian airspace, the media reports continued. As a result, the pilot decided to make an unscheduled landing in Budapest. How the bomb threat was transmitted is unknown. Two Hungarian Air Force fighter jets rose to escort the plane from entry into Hungarian airspace until landing, Defense Minister Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi said on his Facebook page.
