And the Italian news agency Ansa reported that two more planes with links to Italy were affected by bomb threats this morning: that’s a WizzAir service from Milan Malpensa to Warsaw, which reportedly landed in Vienna, and a Finnair flight from Helsinki to Rome Fiumicino.

Belgian newspaper Le Soir also reported a bomb threat against a LOT Polish Airline flight from Warsaw, which now landed at Zaventem.

The airport’s spokesperson confirmed to Le Soir it received a “suspicious report concerning a flight to Brussels Airport.”

The airport’s arrival board suggests its LO235 which left Warsaw this morning.

Meanwhile, Bulgarian public broadcaster BNT is reporting up to three incidents involving bomb threats against planes in the Bulgarian airspace.

Two of the planes – from Copenhagen and Madrid – landed in Sofia. The third one, from London Stansted, has been diverted to Plovdiv airport.

This morning’s incident will once again raise questions as to whether there is any coordination behind the bomb warnings in recent days.

Four out of eight incidents in the last few days targeted planes flying to or from Italy: three to Rome – two from Dublin and one from Lisbon, and one from Milan Bergamo.

The French PM’s office has just confirmed the plane landed safely at Evreux with a bomb squad unit in place to inspect the aircraft.

151 passengers and six crew on board were moved to a safe place, it said.

Le Figaro is reporting the plane was escorted on approach by a French Rafale fighter jet.

BFMTV says the original bomb threat alert came from the Italian authorities.

The plane appears to have just touched down in Evreux, according to Flightradar24’s tracking service.

Earlier this week, seven planes across Europe were searched or diverted after a series of bomb threats were made to passenger flights.

The alarms affected flights operated by LOT Polish Airlines, SAS, WizzAir, and Ryanair.

Two of the flights also involved Rome Fiumicino airport, amid broader false bomb alarms in the country, which also affected 280 schools.

Flightradar24, one of the largest flight tracker websites in the world, also said that “no aircraft have departed from Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) in the past 30 minutes.”

The plane crossed the English Channel on a normal flight path to Rome before veering south-west of Paris and circling Chartres airport and diverting towards Évreux.

Curiously, in the last few minutes it flew right past the airport in Évreux without touching down.

An Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Rome has been diverted to a major military base in Evreux in France after a bomb alert, the French prime minister’s office said.

The PM’s office said the government was “monitoring the situation closely.”

The flight, EIN40G, is operated by an Airbus A320. It’s currently circling above France and should start its descent to Evreux shortly.

The incident comes just two days after seven planes across Europe were searched or diverted after malicious hoax bomb alerts.
