索菲亚 - 根据保加利亚当局和奥地利航空公司的消息，10月18日，针对从特拉维夫飞往维也纳的奥地利航空公司航班的炸弹威胁迫使飞机改道保加利亚。
SOFIA - A bomb threat against an Austrian Airlines flight from Tel Aviv to Vienna on Oct 18 forced the plane to divert to Bulgaria, according to the Bulgarian authorities and the airline.
奥地利航空公司机组人员在接到炸弹威胁报告后决定在索菲亚进行紧急着陆，当时飞机正接近罗马尼亚上空，保加利亚交通部在一份声明中表示，并补充称乘客在飞机着陆后被疏散。
The Austrian Airlines crew decided to make an emergency landing in Sofia after reportedly receiving a bomb threat as they neared Romania, Bulgaria’s transport ministry said in a statement, adding that the passengers were evacuated from the aircraft after landing.
保加利亚空军按照既定程序派出米格-29战斗机护航客机，交通部表示。
The Bulgarian air force scrambled a MiG-29 fighter jet to escort the airliner as part of established procedures, the transport ministry said.
奥地利航空公司告诉法新社，航班上共有51名乘客和6名机组人员，飞机为空客A320，在威胁发出约半小时后安全着陆索菲亚，随后对飞机进行了安全搜查。“飞机搜查完成后，乘客将尽快改乘其他航班，”该公司表示。
The airline told AFP that 51 passengers and six crew were aboard the flight, and that a security search of the aircraft – an Airbus A320 – was launched after it safely landed in Sofia about a half hour after the threat. “Once the search of the aircraft is complete, the passengers will be rebooked onto alternative flights as quickly as possible,” the airline said.
根据Flightradar24的数据，注册号为OE-LZE的飞机在当地时间大约晚上9点10分进入罗马尼亚领空，随后转向南下返回保加利亚，并在索菲亚降落。
According to Flightradar24 data, the aircraft, registered OE-LZE, entered Romanian airspace at around 9.10pm local time before turning south and heading back towards Bulgaria, where it landed in Sofia.
