When a flight like the Ryanair service is diverted due to a bomb hoax, the airline bears the significant costs. This includes extra fuel, landing fees at the diversion airport, and potentially compensation for passengers for delays. These expenses can quickly add up, making malicious hoaxes very costly for carriers.
