Ciampino closed
The following on Reuters.
08:37 21Nov2006 RTRS-Rome's Ciampino airport closed after bomb threat
ROME, Nov 21 (Reuters) - Rome's second-largest airport, Ciampino, was ordered closed to all traffic on Tuesday following an anonymous telephone call claiming that a bomb was on board a cargo flight, airport sources said.
Edited to add realise my headline is crud and could be misleading. Apologies, can a mod fix?

Just called my girlfriend who's waiting to board EZ5254 (dep. Ciampino 09.35 UTC) and she's remarkably oblivious (as usual).
(Update 09.27: flights not boarding, no announcements made)
(Update 10.20: airport reopened to traffic, flights boarding)

Just updating to say the airport re-opened pretty rapidly. A hoax.
Six flights were re-routed to Pescara.
Interesting that a thread about a major Italian airport being closed totally is moved here (no problem with that per se) but one about one runway at Manchester being closed because of a burning smell on a Dash remains on R&N.
Still, not my toy.
