Paris — A flight traveling from Dublin to Rome was diverted to France on Thursday (Nov 5) following a bomb threat, according to the French government.

Citing the office of French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu, Reuters reported that the Airbus A320 was rerouted to the Evreux airbase in northern France.

The Prime Minister’s office said it is monitoring the situation.

According to flight-tracking website Flightradar24, an Aer Lingus aircraft turned near Paris and circled over the Evreux area after declaring an in-flight emergency.

The incident follows a wave of similar threats on Tuesday (Nov 3), when about 10 European flights were targeted by bomb warnings. The threats forced the brief closure of Warsaw airport and prompted the scrambling of air force planes in Rome, authorities said.

No explosives were found in the earlier incidents, despite extensive ground searches after the planes all took off and landed safely in different European cities within several hours of each other, AFP reported.

Irish budget carrier Ryanair appeared to be the worst hit, with four of its flights to different destinations targeted.

Two bomb warnings targeted planes heading to the Polish capital, Warsaw, including an SAS Scandinavian Airlines flight from Copenhagen and a Heathrow-operated flight by Polish airline LOT, Polish airport authorities said.
