Several European airlines were forced to reroute more passenger flights on Thursday due to bomb threats. Previously, a number of warnings appeared one after another earlier this week, which had affected the normal operation of many airlines. A Wizz Air Holdings Plc spokesperson said a flight from Milan to Warsaw on Thursday was diverted to Vienna after receiving threats during the flight. The French Prime Minister's office confirmed that a flight from Dublin to Rome was diverted to a military base in Evreux in the Normandy region due to a bomb threat. The Prime Minister's Office is closely monitoring developments in accordance with established procedures. Aer Lingus confirmed that flight EI402 was diverted to Normandy this morning due to safety concerns. More than 150 passengers and 6 crew members were on board. “The flight has landed safely and Aer Lingus will arrange passengers to their final destination as soon as possible,” the Irish airline said. A Polish Airlines flight from Warsaw to Paris was suspended while taxiing and directed to a parking spot for security checks. Authorities said in an email statement that the inspection found no dangerous goods, and the airport then resumed normal operations. This week's series of threatening events showed no pattern, whether it was the threatened airline or the affected route. Bomb threats are rare, and almost always end up being a prank. On average, more than 30,000 flights take off and land in European airspace every day. But the extraordinary surge in bomb threats comes at a time of heightened geopolitical tension and a series of unusual disruptions in Europe, including repeated hacker attacks on supermarket refrigeration systems and drones invading European airspace.
