Several European planes receive bomb threats; three flights to Sofia, four to Prague affected
Flights across Europe were diverted or evacuated after bomb threats, including an Aer Lingus landing in Évreux and a Wizz Air evacuation in Bucharest.
Several passenger aircraft across Europe received bomb threats, coming two days after at least seven flights reported similar warnings, authorities say. Among the latest affected routes were three flights bound for Sofia and four to Prague.
Diverted and evacuated: flights scattered across the continent
An Aer Lingus plane en route from Dublin to Rome was forced to land at the Évreux air base in southern France after receiving a threat. A Wizz Air service on the Milan–Warsaw route was redirected to Vienna.
Nearly 200 passengers were evacuated from another Wizz Air aircraft operating between Milan and Bucharest. That plane landed safely at Henri Coandă International Airport in Bucharest after it received a bomb threat.
Officials have not publicly linked the most recent incidents to a single group or motive. Airport and airline security teams handled the diversions and evacuations as standard precautionary measures while investigations continued.
The wave of threats follows similar warnings two days earlier affecting at least seven flights, increasing concern among carriers and airport authorities across the region.
