An Airbus A320 en route from Dublin to Rome was diverted to Évreux airport after a bomb alert, with 151 passengers and six crew members safely evacuated. The aircraft, escorted by a Rafale, landed securely at Évreux.
The aircraft was diverted Thursday morning following a suspected bomb threat, as confirmed by Matignon. The French government is monitoring the situation in real time. The alert came days after multiple false bomb threats across Europe, including alerts on four Ryanair flights and two LOT flights.
False bomb alerts have led to security checks, flight diversions, and temporary airport closures. At least four European airlines, including Ryanair, SAS, and Wizz Air, were affected. No explosive devices were found during inspections, but the incidents highlight ongoing security concerns across the region.
