An Airbus A320 plane flying from Dublin, Ireland, to Rome, Italy, was diverted to Évreux-Fauville Air Base in western France on November 4, 2026, following a bomb threat. The French Prime Minister's office confirmed the incident and stated that it is being monitored closely.
The flight had been carrying over 150 passengers, who were evacuated after the plane landed safely at the military airbase. This event comes days after a series of similar incidents across Europe, including one involving a Wizz Air flight from London Luton to Bulgaria, which also received a bomb threat and was escorted by a fighter jet.
Aviation experts emphasize that all such threats are treated seriously regardless of their credibility, leading to thorough searches and sometimes diversions. Aer Lingus confirmed the professionalism of the crew during this incident, highlighting safety as their top priority.
