What the coverage shows

Both outlets lead on the emergency landing in Bulgaria after a bomb threat, and both make the landing itself the main fact in view. Sky News frames the story as a flight from Tel Aviv to Vienna, while Al Jazeera broadens that to a flight from Israel and is the only one to name Austrian Airlines flight OS82, Sofia, and say the crew decided to land there after receiving the threat.
