Fresh hoax bomb threats targeted two British airports today as 25 further flights on European airlines made unplanned landings or were escorted by fighter jets.
London Heathrow and Birmingham airports both received threats early this morning, but they were quickly resolved and flights were continuing as normal at both hubs.
Heathrow said the hoax threats were not credible. The Metropolitan Police aviation policing command was monitoring the situation and liaising with relevant authorities.
It comes as a series of hoax bomb threats hit European airlines from Ireland to Bulgaria today for the second time this week, including one leaving London Stansted.
