A flight traveling from Tel Aviv to Vienna is diverted to Bulgaria after a bomb threat, and makes an emergency landing in Sofia, according to Bulgarian authorities and the airline.
Reports say an emergency is declared onboard and the aircraft lands in Bulgaria on Sunday evening. One outlet specifies the aircraft’s diversion and landing occurred outside Israeli airspace, noting Israel’s Air Force is not involved and does not take action because the incident is not within or near Israeli airspace.
Other coverage focuses on the flight’s passenger and crew details and the disruption caused by the reported threat. Across the reports, the common points are the origin (Tel Aviv), destination (Vienna), the reported bomb threat, the diversion to Bulgaria/Sofia, and the emergency landing, with differing emphasis on operational responsibility and onboard procedures.
