Polish Passenger

A Canadian and a Polish passenger jet clipped wings on the ground at a Toronto airport, causing "serious" damage but no casualties, a spokesman for Air Canada confirmed Sunday.

A Boeing 707 operated by a Polish charter airline on Friday made an emergency landing in Prague after a bomb threat by a passenger who was then detained by police, Czech officials said.

A bomb alert that forced a Polish airliner bound for Egypt to emergency land in Bulgaria early today was a false alarm caused by a "drunken Pole talking rubbish," Bulgaria's premier said.

No airline is safe from the type of cyber attack that grounded an aircraft and hundreds of passengers at Poland's busiest airport at the weekend, the chief executive of Polish national carrier LOT said earlier on Monday.

Around 1,400 passengers of the Polish airline LOT were grounded at Warsaw's Chopin airport on Sunday after hackers attacked the airline ground computer systems used to issue flight plans, the company said.

LOT said the "IT attack" meant it was unable to create flight plans and flights were not able to depart from Warsaw.

A cyber attack against Polish flagship carrier LOT grounded more than 1,400 passengers at Warsaw's Frederic Chopin Airport on Sunday, a spokesman said.

The government on Friday said direct tax collection has surpassed the budget estimate of Rs 3.70 lakh crore for the 2010 fiscal.

At least two passengers visited the cockpit of Polish President Lech Kaczynski's plane before it crashed last month, and others may have chatted on cell phones, possibly affecting navigation as the crew battled heavy fog over challenging terrain.
