Overview
- On Thursday more than a dozen intra‑European flights were affected when anonymous bomb warnings prompted unscheduled landings, including an Aer Lingus A320 diverted to the French military base Évreux.
- National air forces scrambled fighter jets to escort at least one Finnair flight into Rome and to monitor other aircraft that were redirected to military or alternate airports.
- Explosive‑ordnance teams and police searched multiple planes and airports and, to date, have found no explosives and reported no injuries to passengers or crew.
- Some emails claiming responsibility used the name 'Männerstaat', but authorities say that claim is unverified and criminal and counterterror units in several countries are conducting joint inquiries.
- The incidents have disrupted travel, raised costs for airlines and airports, and prompted Eurocontrol, national security services and the European Commission to share information and review protocols for similar low‑cost disruptive attacks.
