In past week or two, there has been 3 flights from Belgrade (Serbia), to Moscow, who got anonymously tipped via Email, that there is a bomb planted on that aircraft. Every plane immediately made a turn, and landed on the closest airport, so the passengers and stuff can be evacuated, and the plane can be examined. Each alarm was false.

So my question is, what can an Air company actually do in those situations? I mean, someone can send those threats on daily basis and cancel many flights by doing so?

Note: I'm really not sure what Tags to put.

The "Air Company"-airline can't really do a whole lot other than sue for damages. If they do internal investigation, they can provide all the evidence to the appropriate authority (if the airline is based in Serbia, this is the Military Intelligence Authority "AOV"). Otherwise the airline would work with the appropriate authority in their country of registration and that of the accused (if known).

After they are found they can (again, depending on the country of the airline and that of the accused) file a civil case for compensation.
