Bomb threats at Copenhagen Airport under investigation, no danger found
Danish police are investigating renewed threats against air traffic at Copenhagen Airport. Officials say no immediate danger to passengers was identified.
Copenhagen Airport targeted again by air traffic threats
Danish police announced on Friday they are investigating a fresh wave of threats directed at air traffic at Copenhagen Airport, according to straitstimes.com. Officers said their immediate assessment found no danger to passengers.
"We are once again at Copenhagen Airport today in connection with threats directed at air traffic," Copenhagen Police said in a statement. "We are now investigating the incident and have a visible presence at the airport."
Police declined to provide further details. Copenhagen Airport confirmed the police presence in an emailed statement, adding that the airport was "operating normally." A spokesperson declined to comment further.
The renewed threats follow a broader wave of hoax bomb threats that disrupted dozens of passenger flights across Europe on Thursday, forcing some aircraft to make unplanned landings and prompting military fighter jets to escort or intercept others.
On Thursday, a military bomb disposal unit searched two planes at Denmark's largest airport after a threat was received, but found no devices.
