Fresh bomb alerts target European flights; Dublin–Rome service diverted to Évreux
An Aer Lingus Airbus A320 flying from Dublin to Rome was diverted to France’s Évreux airbase on 5 November 2026 after a bomb alert. Other European flights were also targeted during the morning.
The Aer Lingus flight’s 151 passengers and six crew members were moved to safety during bomb-disposal work, according to French authorities cited by Reuters.
An Italian military escort accompanied a Finnair Helsinki–Rome flight; the airline says it landed normally. Several other routes also underwent checks. Available reports describe no explosives found in the aircraft inspected.
The origin of the threats and any link between them remain unestablished. The simultaneous alerts alone provide no basis for attributing responsibility.
