Two planes land safely at Milan airport after bomb alerts

MILAN — Two planes hit by bomb alerts, an Aegean Airlines flight from Thessaloniki, and a Ryanair flight from Porto, landed safely at their destination at Milan's Malpensa, an airport source said on Thursday.

Police intervened with bomb disposal experts to inspect baggage and crew, the source said, adding that the Aegean plane had arrived at around 0830 GMT and the Ryanair one about one hour later.

Earlier this week at least seven flights in Europe received bomb threats, causing disruption at airports although no devices were discovered. — Reuters
