An Austrian Airlines flight from Tel Aviv to Vienna was diverted to Sofia, Bulgaria, on Sunday evening following an anonymous report of a bomb on board. Flight OS82, an Airbus A320, departed Ben Gurion Airport at 7:04 PM and landed in the Bulgarian capital at 9:42 PM. The diversion was initiated after a Vienna resident reportedly called the police claiming a bomb had been planted on the aircraft. Upon landing in Sofia, all passengers and crew were deplaned, and local teams began security checks to determine if the threat was credible. No suspicious findings have been reported thus far, and the circumstances leading to the incident are under investigation. This event occurs five days after a similar anonymous bomb threat was made against a Delta Air Lines flight from New York to Israel. That flight landed safely in Tel Aviv, and security sweeps found no irregularities, allowing operations to return to normal.
