Minister of Defence Dragomir Zakov expressed concern over the false bomb threats on board passenger airplanes.
“What is worrying us is that such cases are now happening on a regular basis.

The Bulgarian pilots took over from their Romanian colleagues, escorting the plane over Bulgaria until Turkish fighters took over. The airplane made a successful landing in Istanbul.
