Prior in the day, two Swiss Air Force planes were mixed to escort an El Al Israeli traveler plane on the way from New York to Tel Aviv because of a bomb caution on Tuesday, as per Skyguide, an organization that screens Swiss airspace.
The two Swiss warrior planes were mixed to escort the El Al Boeing 747 carrier and to build up visual contact with the pilot, as it flew over Switzerland, Skyguide representative Vladi Barrosa told dpa.
El Al said it had gotten an unknown tip around a bomb on load up flight LY002. Despite the fact that it included that the plane was proceeding on its approach to Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport, it however would not say whether it was a false caution.
