On Friday, November 6, 2026, Danish police returned to Copenhagen Airport to investigate a fresh threat after receiving an email warning that targeted two aircraft. The email was sent on Thursday and had been addressed directly to the airport’s security team.
According to a statement released by Copenhagen Police, the initial assessment was that passengers and other individuals at the airport were not in danger. After the threat was received, bomb disposal specialists from the Danish military searched both planes before the airports' scheduled departure times. They found no suspicious material, allowing flights to proceed as planned.
Police officials confirmed to the Danish broadcaster TV 2 that the Friday report appeared to concern a new incident separate from the Thursday threat. The authorities were still gathering information at the time of the report and could not yet determine whether the two incidents were related.
Copenhagen Police also noted, in a separate statement, that it was too early to say whether the Thursday incident was linked to similar threats against flights elsewhere in Europe. This statement was reported by TV 2, which highlighted the possibility of a broader pattern of email threats targeting European air traffic.
The investigation is now being monitored closely by police and security experts. The authorities warned that the threat could potentially be part of an organized campaign, as experts analyze similarities between the new threat and previous incidents across the continent.
While no explosives or bombs were found on the aircraft involved, all efforts were taken to ensure the safety of passengers, crew, and airport personnel. The cleanup and security checks carried out by the bomb disposal team have been described as routine and precautionary.
The case remains an active investigation. Police continue to interview witnesses, review email correspondence, and coordinate with European law‑enforcement agencies that have responded to similar threats. As of now, no definitive link to other incidents has been confirmed.
Uncertainties remain regarding the motive behind the email threat, the identity of the sender, and whether this event is connected to other similar threats that have appeared across Europe’s airports. The investigation is ongoing and will likely provide clarification as more evidence is examined. The police and security teams have stated that they will release further information only as additional data becomes available, as the case has yet to reach a conclusive resolution.
