What the coverage says

An Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Rome was diverted to a French military base following a bomb alert, as reported by both the BBC and The Guardian. Subsequent coverage from The Guardian established that at least 15 commercial planes across Europe have faced emergency landings or diversions due to a series of bomb threats, which have renewed "hybrid warfare fears." The BBC reported that air traffic control passed on the threat messages, and that analysis of the incidents marks the second such wave of disruption this week. The BBC also noted that there is currently no hard evidence linking the hoaxes to Russia, Iran, or proxy groups. Meanwhile, The Guardian has issued a call for accounts from passengers and airline staff affected by the widespread travel disruptions.
