Two French fighters force landing of commercial flight after pilot's refusal

Two French fighter jets forced an Aer Lingus flight to land at a military base after the pilot refused to comply with landing instructions due to a bomb threat. The Airbus A320, traveling from Dublin to Rome, was intercepted after the pilot requested a civilian airport instead. The French Prime Minister authorized the military response based on the pilot's non-cooperation. This incident is part of a larger wave of bomb threats affecting multiple flights across Europe, including false alarms in Italy and Bulgaria. Authorities are investigating the pilot's actions, which may violate French aviation laws.
