Bomb alert diverts Airbus A320 plane going from Dublin to Rome, French PM says

A Dublin-to-Rome passenger flight operated by an Airbus A320 was diverted mid-flight to Evreux Air Base in northern France following a bomb alert, according to the Cyprus Mail, which cites the office of French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu. The PM’s office indicated that the situation was being monitored as events unfolded, with no further details about the threat provided in the material. The report notes that the diversion occurred while en route between Dublin and Rome but does not specify the airline or flight number, nor any information about the crew or passengers.

Euronews corroborates the Dublin-to-Rome diversion to a French air base in northern France, with the French prime minister’s office confirming the development and saying that the situation was being watched as it developed. Euronews cites the office of Sébastien Lecornu and adds that journalists continued to work on further developments, underscoring that authorities were actively managing a developing security incident. The material does not include specifics on the aircraft type beyond the Dublin-to-Rome routing.

An Anadolu Ajansı report describes the diversion as occurring amid a bomb threat that disrupted two flights arriving at Rome’s airport and triggered emergency-response procedures. Authorities conducted searches of the aircraft and surrounding areas with bomb disposal teams, and no explosives or suspicious devices were found, according to Anadolu Ajansı. The account frames this as part of a broader threat-response operation affecting Rome-area arrivals.

The Times of India places the Dublin-to-Rome diversion in the context of a wider disruption, noting that one leg involved a London-bound flight diverted to Warsaw-Modlin Airport for an emergency landing. This flight carried 181 passengers and landed at Modlin at 10:01 am local time, with security services on site to verify the threat while bomb disposal personnel were en route; Modlin Airport was subsequently closed as checks continued. The Times of India’s account ties the Dublin-to-Rome incident to additional related disruptions across Europe.

France 24 provides a Europe-wide perspective, describing bomb threats affecting at least 10 European carriers and four Ryanair flights among those impacted. The network reports safety checks that found no explosives and notes that the involved aircraft completed their journeys and landed safely in various cities. It highlights measures such as Warsaw’s airport closure and air-force scrambles in Rome as part of the broader response, indicating the scale and dispersion of the incident across multiple countries.

RTE.ie, repeating the core Dublin-to-Rome diversion, states that an Aer Lingus flight traveling from Dublin to Rome was diverted mid-flight to Evreux Air Base in northern France following the security alert. While confirming the diversion, the Irish report notes that the aircraft type, flight number, and final destination after diversion are not specified in the available material. Euronews’ corroboration and Anadolu Ajansı’s detail about searches provide the broader context of the emergency-response procedures, including bomb-disposal activity, with no explosives found.
