Iberia Airlines says two of its aircraft received "explosive threats" this morning, adding that these turned out to be "false alarms".
These warnings were sent to Madrid-Barajas Airport, it says in a statement.
The airline says these messages were then relayed to the pilots of both flights, which went to land in Madrid at approximately 10:00 local time (09:00 GMT).
"Passengers disembarked without any problems, in accordance with established security protocols," it says.The affected flights where IBE668 from Milan to Madrid, and IBE658 from Rome to Madrid.
Two Aegean Airlines flights were targeted by bomb threats on Thursday, the Greek carrier has confirmed.
The threats concerned flight A3552 from Thessaloniki to Milan, which we reported on earlier, and flight A3860 from Athens to Vienna. Both aircraft landed safely at their destinations.
Greece’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Tasos Chatzivassiliou, was among the passengers on the Vienna-bound flight.
In a statement, Aegean said it had worked closely with the relevant authorities and followed all required security procedures before the flights departed, after the threats were found to be unfounded.
EasyJet says two of its flights, one from Newcastle and one from Glasgow, were met by police after arriving in Prague as a "precautionary measure" due to a "security related matter".
"Passengers on both flights disembarked normally," the airline says.
Earlier, Czech police said four flights were inspected after arriving in Prague due to bomb threats, but that no explosives were found.
Local Czech media has since reported that two of these flights had departed from the UK.
