Several European flights receive bomb threats, some divert

Several flights across Europe have either diverted or landed with a military escort after bomb or security threats. The first reported case involved a flight from Dublin to Rome landing outside Paris; more soon followed. Several commercial flights made either unscheduled or high-alert landings in Austria, France, Italy, Belgium, Czechia and Bulgaria, according to authorities in the various countries.

Planes made unscheduled landings in Evreux, France; in Vienna, Austria; and in Bulgaria. A flight from Finland landed in Rome as scheduled but with a military escort, and another landed in Brussels amid a security threat. This follows bomb threats leveled against several European flights earlier this week , prompting a series of similar unscheduled landings.

Tuesday's incidents turned out to be hoaxes, and preliminary information shows no sign of dangerous materials in Thursday's threats has been reported as yet. One Finnair flight from Helsinki to Rome landed with a military escort, according to Italian news agency ANSA.
