Dublin-Rome flight diverted to France after bomb threat
An Airbus A320 flying from Dublin to Rome made an emergency landing at the Evreux airbase in France on Thursday after a bomb threat. It is the latest of several similar cases in Europe in recent days.
On Thursday, November 5, 2026, a passenger Airbus A320 was diverted to the Evreux airbase in France, not far from Paris, after a bomb threat was received. The aircraft was flying from the Irish capital, Dublin, to the Italian capital, Rome. The office of French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu confirmed the incident and said it was monitoring the situation.
What is known
The Evreux airbase is typically used for military purposes rather than commercial flights. The source does not say how many people were on board, which airline operated the flight, how the landing went, or whether the threat proved genuine.
Wider context
The incident is the latest in a series. Bomb threats were made against several European flights earlier this week, prompting a number of similar unscheduled landings. The source does not specify whether these cases are linked or who may be behind them.
This is a developing story, and further details are expected.
