Italian flights among those hit by new wave of bomb alerts, Air Force jets scrambled

A series of bomb threats affected flights in Europe, including those to and from Italy. The Italian Air Force escorted a Finnair flight from Helsinki to Rome after a report of an explosive on board. An Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Rome was rerouted to a French airbase, while a Wizz Air flight to Warsaw was redirected to Vienna. Passengers reported military jets accompanying their planes, raising concerns about safety. The Finnair flight landed safely, and checks at Rome's Fiumicino airport did not disrupt operations. Investigations revealed that the threats originated from a single anonymous email sent to airport authorities.
