The incidents affected flights linked to Ireland, Italy, Bulgaria, Denmark, Spain, Finland and the United Kingdom. Three Ryanair flights bound for Sofia landed safely in Bulgaria, while an Ireland-to-Italy flight diverted to a French military base, where bomb-disposal teams examined the aircraft. The coordinated disruption marks a second wave of aviation threats this week and has heightened security concerns across European airspace, although no explosives have been reported.
