'Chaos within aviation industry' as European air traffic hit by bomb threats

Daily Mirror reports that a new wave of suspected hoax bomb threats affected at least 25 passenger flights across Europe on Thursday morning. The outlet describes the alerts as the second wave of threats that week and says they reached from Ireland to Bulgaria.

Daily Mirror reports that some affected aircraft made unplanned landings, while others were escorted by fighter jets. A separate Daily Mirror report says flights were forced to land in France, Bulgaria and Belgium. Newswire reports that bomb alerts led a number of planes travelling to European destinations to make unplanned landings.

Ada Derana reports, citing France’s prime minister, that an Airbus A320 travelling from Dublin to Rome was diverted after a bomb alert. Daily Mirror separately reports that seven passenger planes were inspected following suspected threats, including two that had departed from the UK.
