Following similar incidents in recent days, the European aviation industry witnessed a new wave of bomb threats on Thursday, November 5, targeting at least 18 flights across the continent and leading to emergency landings and flight diversions. The French Prime Minister's Office announced that an Airbus A320 belonging to the Aer Lingus company on the route from Dublin to Rome was diverted to the Ororo air base in France after receiving a bomb threat and landed safely. In Rome, a Finnair flight from Helsinki landed at Fiumicino Airport accompanied by Italian Air Force fighters. Also, the authorities in Bulgaria announced the emergency landing of three planes at the country's airports. The Czech police also announced that four flights to Prague were threatened and that security checks were being carried out. EU Transport Commissioner Apostolos Tzizi Kostas said it was too early to say whether the incidents were related. Despite the disruption at various airports, security checks showed that all the threats were false and no explosives were discovered.
