A bomb alert was sent by a passenger plane, a Ryanair Boeing 737 with 192 people on board, from Katowice, Poland, bound for Athens.

Due to the bomb threat, the plane is escorted by F-16 fighters, while special forces also go to Eleftherios Venizelos airport, where the plane is headed.

Hungarian fighter jets had also taken off, and the Boeing is currently heading for Athens, flying over sea space. It will continue over the sea, as per protocol, and land at its final destination.

There is a special area at the airport where the plane will go when it lands.
