What the coverage shows

All three outlets converge on a wave of hoax bomb threats disrupting multiple flights across Europe this week. CNBC and the New York Times both stress the breadth of the disruption, while the Guardian US is the only one to foreground a fresh wave affecting at least 18 more flights and to note that searches found no explosive devices. The New York Times alone emphasizes traveler frustration at airports in Rome, Madrid and Warsaw.
