Danish police are investigating new threats involving air traffic at Copenhagen Airport, as authorities across Europe continue to deal with the fallout from a series of false bomb threats affecting commercial flights.
In a statement issued on Friday, Copenhagen police said officers had once again been deployed at the airport in response to threats related to aviation operations.
"We are once again present at Copenhagen Airport today due to threats concerning air traffic," police said, adding that security measures and police presence at the airport had been increased.
Authorities have not disclosed further details about the nature or origin of the threats.
The airport confirmed the heightened police presence but stressed that operations continue as normal.
Emergency landings and fighter jet responses
The latest incident follows widespread disruption on Thursday, when dozens of passenger flights across Europe were affected by false bomb threats.
Some aircraft were forced to make emergency landings, while others were escorted or intercepted by fighter jets as a precautionary measure.
The incidents form part of a broader wave of false alerts reported across Europe earlier this week.
No explosives found
On Thursday, a Danish military explosive ordnance disposal unit searched two aircraft at Copenhagen Airport following a bomb threat.
The inspections were completed without any explosive devices being found.
Danish authorities said investigations into the latest threats are continuing, and no further information has been released regarding those responsible or any possible links between the incidents.
