- A spate of alerts has disrupted European flights.

## Summary

New reports say three Ryanair aircraft made emergency landings in Bulgaria after bomb threats, while alerts were also reported on flights from Milan to Warsaw and Helsinki to Rome. These incidents add to a series of threats disrupting European air travel, though the article does not confirm whether any of the alerts were credible.

An Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Rome diverted to Évreux airbase in France after signalling a general emergency about 90 minutes after take-off on Thursday. The French Prime Minister’s office said it was monitoring the situation; passengers were told the threat was considered non-credible and that the aircraft would be searched. At least seven flights were targeted on Tuesday, including a Dublin-to-Sofia service carrying 185 passengers, which was searched on arrival.
