A wave of emailed bomb threats disrupted flights linked to Prague between 5 and 7 November. Police searched four Prague-bound aircraft on 5 November after anonymous threats; no explosives were found and Václav Havel Airport remained open, with a national counter-terrorism unit taking charge of the investigation. On 7 November, a TAROM flight from Prague to Bucharest, carrying 102 passengers, landed safely after Romania's intelligence service checked it over a bomb threat and found no explosive device, officials said, describing the incident as part of a wider wave of threats against European flights that week.
Also on 7 November, Dutch police briefly detained a Czech passenger at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport after a verbal bomb threat at the gate for a Prague-bound flight; the aircraft departed after a delay without the suspect, and police released the man the same afternoon.
