🇪🇺 UPDATE: EUROPE'S AVIATION BOMB THREATS - EIGHT AIRCRAFT TARGETED IN TWO DAYS Since my previous report, THREE additional aircraft have been identified as targets of bomb threats across Europe. 🇮🇹 ITALY - TWO RYANAIR FLIGHTS Two Ryanair aircraft arriving at Rome Fiumicino from Dublin and Lisbon were searched following anonymous bomb threats. The Dublin flight, FR9611, was escorted by the Italian Air Force before landing. Police bomb disposal teams inspected the aircraft, passengers and luggage. No explosives were found, and both alerts were cleared. 🇧🇬 BULGARIA - SECOND SOFIA-BOUND FLIGHT Bulgarian Transport Minister Georgi Peev has confirmed that TWO aircraft, arriving from Bergamo and Dublin, received bomb threats. Neither flight was diverted. Both underwent security inspections, with no explosives discovered. This brings the total to EIGHT reported aircraft bomb threats across Europe on 2–3 November, seven of them today. The incidents have now affected flights involving Poland, Bulgaria, Italy, Spain and Hungary, with multiple military and police responses. All eight aircraft landed safely. Updated infographic below.

🚨🇮🇹 DEVELOPING: 271 ITALIAN SCHOOLS RECEIVED BOMB THREATS - INCLUDING A THREAT AGAINST A RYANAIR FLIGHT On 2 November, a mass email containing bomb threats was sent to 271 schools across Italy, including eight in Rome. Multiple schools were evacuated as police and bomb disposal units responded. The email claimed to originate from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), but there is no evidence establishing Iranian involvement. Crucially, the same email also threatened Ryanair flight FR4438 from Riga, Latvia, to Rome Fiumicino. Flight records confirm that FR4438 was operating that morning and was airborne when the threatening email was received. The aircraft landed in Rome. I have not yet found confirmation of a separate security inspection. This comes amid a wider wave of European aviation bomb threats, including two other Ryanair aircraft searched in Rome on 3 November. Italy also experienced a separate wave of mass bomb threats against schools on 19 October. Whether these incidents are connected remains under investigation.
