## Summary

New reports put the number of commercial flights affected by Thursday’s bomb or security threats at at least a dozen across six European countries. Some aircraft diverted or made unscheduled landings, while others reached their planned destinations under heightened security, disrupting airport operations and prompting checks.

An Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Rome landed safely at France’s Evreux airbase after an air force escort. Other flights diverted to Vienna or Plovdiv, while flights to Rome and Sofia landed amid alerts; Czech police prepared for four aircraft and said the threats appeared low risk. Earlier threats this week proved to be hoaxes, and authorities had reported no dangerous materials from Thursday’s threats at the time of publication.
