Sekurang-kurangnya 18 penerbangan Eropah terima ancaman bom

At least 18 commercial flights across Europe were reported to have received bomb threats on Thursday, prompting some aircraft to make emergency landings, alter routes, and undergo safety checks, according to Anadolu Agency. The incident involved several airlines including Ryanair, Wizz Air, LOT Polish Airlines, Finnair, Jettime, KLM, and Aer Lingus.

In France, an Aer Lingus Airbus A320 en route from Dublin to Rome was diverted to a maintenance facility in Evreux, Normandy, after receiving a bomb threat. The 151 passengers and six crew members safely landed before being examined by French military demining units. In Italy, a Finnair flight from Helsinki to Rome encountered a jet fighter from the Italian Air Force en route to Fiumicino Airport after receiving the same bomb threat.

The plane landed safely and underwent a security check, while the airport temporarily suspended flight operations for about 30 minutes, according to Italian news agency ANSA. The bomb threats also affected two other flights heading to Milan Malpensa; they did not deviate and landed on schedule, namely an Aegean Airlines flight from Thessaloniki, Greece, and a Ryanair flight from Porto, Portugal.

Another Finnair flight from Helsinki to Vienna, handled by Jettime, also received a bomb threat but landed on schedule. Meanwhile, one Finnair flight from Helsinki to Vienna, managed by Jettime, received a bomb threat but landed on schedule. Meanwhile, three Ryanair flights to Bulgaria received bomb threats, prompting Bulgaria's Air Force to deploy MiG-29 fighter jets.

In the Czech Republic, police reported that bomb threats involved four flights to Prague, but assessed the threats as baseless and continued safety procedures. Similar threats were also reported to have involved flights in Austria, Romania, Belgium, Poland, and Denmark, with several aircraft undergoing security checks after landing.

According to Italian media reports, an email threat claiming explosives were placed on two flights to Rome was sent to Fiumicino Airport. The email was signed by a group calling themselves Fighters of the Male State, who claimed affiliation with a group with an anti-female and misogynistic agenda. The group was reportedly of interest to security and intelligence agencies, and cited by Italian media as a banned far-right and anti-feminist entity.

Initial reports on the email bomb threats to Italian airports are expected to be presented to prosecutors.
