️🇫🇷🇧🇬🇧🇪🇮🇹🇦🇹 Reuters: A new wave of bomb threats targeted several commercial flights across Europe on Thursday, November 5, triggering emergency diversions, military escorts and security checks.
In France, an Aer Lingus flight traveling from Dublin to Rome was diverted to Oro military air base, with 151 passengers and six crew members on board. In Bulgaria, three Ryanair flights arriving from Copenhagen, Madrid and London were damaged, with two landing in Sofia and one diverted to Plovdiv.
Another flash: a LOT Polish Airlines flight that landed in Brussels, a Wizz Air flight diverted to Vienna, and two Finnair flights from Helsinki to Rome and Vienna were affected. Italian fighter jets escorted the plane traveling to Rome. The incidents follow at least seven similar threats against European flights on November 3, all of which were determined to be false alarms. Authorities have not determined who is responsible or whether the incidents are related.
