EU on bomb warnings, 'any threat against civilians is unacceptable'

“Any threat against civilians is unacceptable and the safety of citizens remains a priority.” The EU transport commissioner, Apostolos Tzitzikostas, says this on the reports of bomb threats that are affecting flights in the EU.

"I have asked the competent national authorities to collaborate with airport managers, airlines and law enforcement agencies", he added, specifying that the "national investigations are still ongoing and it is premature to draw conclusions on a possible connection between the reported incidents".

The EU commissioner added that the EU Commission "continues to closely monitor the situation" and is "in contact with the affected Member States and with the European Aviation Safety Agency", concludes the post on X.
