On the morning of May 30th, A Ryanair flight from Dublin to Krakow had to make an emergency landing in Germany following a potential security threat on board.
It was reportedly a bomb threat, quite similar to the alleged bomb threat that reportedly caused the landing of the RyanAir flight in Minsk approximately a week earlier.
On the morning of May 31st, German federal police said that their deployment was finished, but declined to give details of what led to it, news agency dpa reported.
RyanAir confirmed the grounding of the flight.
“The crew on a Ryanair flight from Dublin to Krakow FR1901 yesterday were notified by German ATC of a potential security threat on board. The captain followed procedures and diverted to the nearest airport, Berlin.
The aircraft landed safely and passengers were offloaded to facilitate extensive security checks of passengers and all baggage.
Once cleared by German authorities, passengers travelled onwards to Krakow on a spare Ryanair aircraft after a delay on the ground of approx. 8 hrs.
Return passengers from Krakow to Dublin travelled on a spare aircraft, with a delay of less than 15 mins.”
A spokesman for the Berlin airport also gave a statement:
“The Ryanair plane that made an emergency landing reported an air emergency and was therefore immediately given a landing permit at BER,” airport spokesman Jan-Peter Haack told Bild.
“It is now in a parking position. The federal police and fire brigade are there.”
It is reported that there were around 160 passengers on board. Ryanair apologized to affected passengers for the delay, saying it was “outside the airline’s control.”
In July last year, another Ryanair plane from Dublin to Krakow was forced to make an emergency landing in London after a false bomb threat.
Passengers had to temporarily disembark the flight from Krakow to Dublin after a note was found in one of the plane’s toilets claiming there were explosives on board the aircraft.
Nobody was arrested on both flights, of course.
In the emergency landing in Belarus, law enforcement detained activist Roman Protasevich, wanted for attempting to spread dissent and organizing protests and coordinating riots through the Nexta Live Telegram channel, operated out of Poland.
The aircraft, flying over Belarus from Athens to Vilnius, had almost reached Lithuania when it changed direction and was escorted to Belarusian capital Minsk amid reports that it had explosives on board, according to an online flight tracker and BelTA.
MORE ON THE TOPIC:
Is it fourth or fifth such bombing threats to Ryanair? Someone out there really hates O’Leary and seeks revenge. He is really hated by his employees, among his fellow airline operators and cheap flights is also something his competition equally hate.
That’s another kosher way to get rid of competition.
BUT. Where is the outrage for hijacking the plane by Germany?
I am reliably informed by an informant in UK 77 Brigade that a bomb threat was issued by Herr Darth Vader who is of course an interplanetary terrorist on Israel’s watch list.:)
I knew it! Darth Vader IS an anti-Semite. Palpatine’s nose was a huge giveaway!!
It must be Merkel this time according to MSM ‘logic’.
Damn that ex-eastern bloc, ex-Communist, self grandiose, and unaccountable leader…Merkel!
“Fly Ryanair! See the world, including cities you never thought to visit! Bomb threats guaranteed!”

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain. We are landing at our destination, ________. The outside temperature is __°C. We hope you have had a pleasant flight, but would like to apologise for the lack of any bomb threats and enforced diversions to other countries.”
Probably Putin LOL!! thats the way the morons will spin it
Such an ungraceful operation. It suggests a Polish connection.
Could this be the same Airline that EU raised an alarm when Belarus took action due to the same threat and forced to for Belarus they shouldn’t have swung to such a threat or else they face Sanctions,Now it looks like the security of others is paramount than the Belarusians.
This is political. If you recall and IRISH member of parliament RIGHTFULLY condemned ISRAEL for its CRIMINAL behaviour. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/5/26/ireland-recognises-israels-de-facto-annexation-of-palestine
Is Israel now doing it usual pressure tactics to get the Politician removed ora at least to APOLOGIZE to those scum sub-humans in Israel???
I hope he never apologizes
One should NEVER apologize for telling TRUTH
Its Batyka who called about bomb. He is trolling Ryan Air now.
