  "summary": "At least 14 European flights were hit by hoax bomb alerts on Thursday, marking the third day of such incidents this week. The Local France, The Local Spain, and The Local Germany report that Italian, French, and Bulgarian fighter jets were scrambled during the day. CBS News reports that at least 15 commercial flights dealt with threats on Thursday, noting that one flight from Ireland to Italy was diverted to a military base in western France. According to the office of French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu, that flight landed safely with 151 passengers and six crew members deplaning without incident.\n\nAuthorities and airlines have stated the alerts appear to be hoaxes, and inspections have not turned up any hazardous or suspicious materials, according to Le Monde English. While CBS News reports that no authorities have confirmed a link between the threats, the increase in impacted journeys has raised concerns regarding a possible coordinated effort to disrupt travel.",
