A fresh wave of apparent hoax bomb threats disrupted at least 18 European flights, including services connected to Heathrow and Birmingham, while media organisations in Ireland and the UK also received threats. Affected aircraft landed safely and searches found no explosives. Authorities were examining whether the incidents formed a coordinated campaign.
