Seven flights across Europe targeted by suspected bomb threats
Planes in Poland, Spain, Bulgaria and Italy have been checked for explosives following separate threats.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story around reported bomb threats affecting European flights, but The Guardian US foregrounds the confirmation that they were false alarms, while The Independent leads with the searches and suspected bomb attacks. The Guardian US is also the only outlet here to mention specific airlines, including Ryanair and Wizz Air, and to note Warsaw Modlin airport resuming operations. The Independent alone mentions a plane from London Heathrow being diverted to Warsaw-Modlin.
