A plane flying over Slovenia was diverted due to a bomb threat

A Wizz Air flight traveling from London Luton to Sofia was diverted to Budapest after authorities received a bomb threat. Hungarian officials dispatched a Gripen fighter jet to escort the aircraft to Ferenc Liszt International Airport, where security services conducted inspections. No suspicious items were found during the checks, and Wizz Air stated the plane would continue its journey to Sofia once procedures were completed. Flight data indicates the Airbus A321 took off at 8:33 AM and changed course over Bosnia and Herzegovina before landing safely in Budapest at 12:08 PM. Authorities have not yet disclosed details regarding the origin or credibility of the threat. This incident follows recent aviation security alerts, including a separate case involving a Boeing 737 that triggered alarms while flying over Croatia.
