New wave of bomb threats hit European airlines

No link has been established between the threats against the airlines and those against the media outlets.

What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on a continuing wave of hoax bomb threats disrupting European flights, with several noting dozens of flights affected and some reporting no explosives found. Reuters and the BBC keep the focus on the flight disruptions themselves, while NPR, Al Jazeera and the South China Morning Post expand the frame to include threats to broadcasters and newsrooms. The New York Times and The Guardian US are the clearest in foregrounding the Irish government’s view that the pattern is likely coordinated disruption, which appears explicitly only in their coverage and the NYT headline.
