The office of the French Prime Minister said that four new bomb threats targeting aircraft flying over French territory were received on Friday.
The office added that all aircraft landed safely, and that bomb disposal units are conducting inspections, while an investigation is underway to determine the source of the threats affecting all of Europe.
Bomb threats against aircraft in Europe were renewed on Friday, after Czech authorities received new reports targeting flights departing from or arriving at Prague Airport. A Wizz Air flight from the Czech capital to Rome was diverted.
Czech authorities stated that flights departing from Prague resumed takeoffs after being inspected, confirming that no explosives were found.
Portuguese police also announced a new false bomb threat against a flight that departed from Lisbon.
Italian media reported that a bomb threat on a flight prompted authorities to divert it to Venice.
In Denmark, police were again present at Copenhagen Airport on Friday following threats targeting air traffic, noting that their initial assessment indicated no risk to passengers or others, either currently or previously.
