More than 20 bomb threat alerts have targeted European flights over three consecutive days, disrupting aviation operations across several countries. Airlines including Ryanair, Wizz Air, Finnair, Aer Lingus and Aegean Airlines were affected. Flights operating between Dublin, Milan, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Rome, Warsaw and other cities faced emergency landings, diversions and military escorts. An Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Rome was diverted to a French military airbase, while fighter jets escorted several other aircraft. All affected planes landed safely, and initial security inspections found no explosives. Authorities are investigating the threats, suspected to be coordinated hoaxes. (PC: Reuters)
