SAS confirms: Threats to aircraft in the air

- The captain said that a threat had been called in against the plane, says a passenger on the SAS plane to Danish BT.

The aircraft is now at Warsaw Chopin Airport where the passengers are evacuated and the plane is checked, the newspaper writes.

SAS communications manager Alexandra Lindgren Kaoukji confirms the threat, but refers the matter to the Polish police.

- The flight has now landed as planned and without problems. The passengers have disembarked and the captain is informing the passengers and crew. We take care of passengers and our colleagues according to our procedures, she tells TT.

Shortly before that, a plane from London, which should have actually landed at Chopin, was reported to have made an emergency landing at Warsaw's Modlin airport.

According to Polish media, the airport confirms that it happened after a bomb threat.

- A plane from London landed at Modlin airport at 10.01am. There are 181 people on board, airport spokesman Adam Szablowski told Polish TVN24.

The airport has been closed until further notice.

- We are waiting for bomb disposal experts, says Szablowski.

On Monday, a Wizz Air flight from London to Sofia was forced to make an emergency landing in Budapest after a bomb threat. The plane was escorted to safety by Hungarian fighter jets, according to the BBC. No suspicious objects were found during the inspection of the plane.
