Mar 18, 2020 (newstodate): In addition to problems from the coronavirus and the general downturn in the industry, Russian airlines are experiencing a sudden boom in bomb threats.
The first bomb hoax was seen on March 3, 2020, and since then more than 20 cases have been recorded, with three cases only on March 17.
Most of the hoax bomb threats concern flights from Moscow to other Russian destinations, and so far the aircraft concerned have continued on their planned routes safely without alterations.
