Wave of bomb threats causes emergency landings for several flights across Europe

An Airbus A320 plane flying from Dublin to Rome was diverted to France's Evreux airbase after a bomb alert, the office of French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu said on Thursday.

The Prime Minister's office is monitoring the situation, it added.

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

Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) has reportedly been temporarily closed due to the bomb threat.

At least seven flights and a cruise ship in Europe received bomb threats on Tuesday, causing disruption at airports, although no devices were discovered.
