Multiple bomb threats disrupted European air traffic across France, Bulgaria, Italy, Belgium and the Czech Republic, forcing emergency diversions, aircraft checks and military escorts. The Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Rome was diverted to France Oro Military Air Base, where all 151 passengers and 6 crew landed safely. 3 Ryanair flights made precautionary landings in Bulgaria, a Finnair plane was escorted to Rome by Italian fighter jets, and a LOT Polish Airlines flight was diverted to Brussels. The Czech police also reported threats on 4 flights to Prague, evaluating them as of low credibility while ordering security checks. The incidents follow at least 7 similar bomb threats on November 3, when searches turned up no explosives. Aviation security expert Matthew Bury suggested the possible involvement of Russia or Iran as part of hybrid warfare, but authorities have not determined an operation or connection between the incidents.
