Bomb threat diverts planes flying over Europe in second such event this week
The plane landed safely with 151 passengers and six crew as bomb disposal teams examined the aircraft, officials said.
- On Thursday, The Aer Lingus Airbus A320 flying from The Dublin to Rome diverted to Fauville Air Base in Eure, France, following a bomb alert, according to French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu's office.
- Flightradar24 tracked the flight circling near Chartres Airport in north-central France before it altered course toward Fauville Air Base, with the aircraft remaining airborne while authorities assessed the warning.
- The situation follows two days after around ten commercial flights were targeted by bomb threats, though authorities reported that no suspicious devices were found during those previous alerts involving Ryanair flights.
- No specific details regarding the nature of the alert have been released by the Prime Minister's office, as officials continue monitoring the flight's approach to Fauville Air Base.
- While recent threats against other airlines proved unfounded, repeated security alerts across France have prompted increased vigilance; the diversion underscores standard safety protocols currently in place for commercial air traffic.
