    Diversion of Ryanair Flight 4978 to Minsk

    On 23 May 2021, a Buzz-operated Ryanair flight traveling from Athens to Vilnius was diverted to Minsk after Belarusian authorities reported a bomb threat. After landing, Belarusian journalist and opposition activist Roman Protasevich and his companion were removed from the aircraft and arrested. The event was widely condemned internationally and generated calls for an ICAO investigation.
