AI brief

European airlines and airports faced hoax bomb threats for the second time this week. Seven flights, including two from the UK, were searched days ago with no explosives found. On Monday, a Wizz Air flight from London to Sofia was escorted by a Hungarian fighter jet to Budapest after an in-flight threat. In the latest case, passengers remained onboard for two and a half hours before being diverted to Paris and rebooked on another plane to Rome. Aviation experts warn repeated hoaxes could breed complacency or mask real threats.
