Bomb‑disposal teams search the aircraft at the Évreux military airfield with passengers evacuated to safety.

Overview

  • A scheduled commercial flight from Dublin to Rome declared an emergency and was routed to the Évreux military airfield on Thursday after receiving a bomb threat.
  • The aircraft landed at Évreux, about 100 kilometres northwest of Paris, and authorities moved 151 passengers and six crew to safety.
  • Flight‑tracking data showed the plane circled over northern France after reporting the emergency before touching down at the military field.
  • The French prime minister’s office said the incident is being followed live and handled according to established procedures while explosives experts conduct searches.
