The Romanian intelligence agency says that two additional planes have received bomb threats, including a KLM flight to Tel Aviv with a layover in Bucharest.
The pilots requested a pyrotechnical inspection of the aircraft, it says. A bomb threat was made earlier on a Wizz Air flight from Milan to Bucharest, as hoax threats disrupted at least 27 passenger flights across Europe on Thursday.
