In brief
After receiving a new email threat, Danish police returned to Copenhagen Airport to investigate. Bomb disposal teams searched two aircraft and found nothing dangerous, and authorities say passengers were not in danger. Officials are monitoring the case for possible links with similar threats across Europe.
Danish police opened a new probe at Copenhagen Airport on Friday after they received an email threat that could affect two aircraft. The threat was sent to the airport the day before, and police say the threat is unrelated to the previous one that led to checks on similar planes. No suspicious material was found inside the planes after bomb disposal specialists searched them.
The police said that passengers and passengers-area workers were not at risk because nothing was found inside the planes. They are still gathering information to figure out whether this new threat ties to other dangers that airlines have worried about across Europe.
TV 2 reported that the fresh threat was sent directly to the airport by email and it targeted two aircraft. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities hope to uncover a larger link with threats to other European flights.
