European aviation faces wave of bomb threats

Air travel across Europe is facing security disruptions following a series of bomb threats. On Friday, French authorities reported four new alerts targeting planes flying over French airspace. The Prime Minister's office confirmed that all affected aircraft landed safely and are being inspected, as investigations continue to identify the source of these threats impacting the continent. These incidents follow a string of alerts on Thursday, which forced more than five civilian flights to make emergency landings, including an Airbus A320 diverted to Evreux airbase while en route from Dublin to Rome. Similar situations were reported in Bulgaria and Brussels. Previously, on Tuesday, around ten other planes faced hoax bomb threats, leading to temporary airport closures and military jet deployments. Ryanair flights were among the most frequently targeted, and London's Heathrow Airport also handled reports involving four flights.
