Headline: UNCAPTIONED: More Italian Flights Disrupted By Bomb Threats Across Europe
Caption: More Italian Flights Disrupted By Bomb Threats Across Europe. Two more flights involving Italy were affected by bomb threats on Friday, as a wave of security alerts continued to disrupt air travel across Europe. A Wizz Air flight travelling from Prague to Rome was diverted to Venice after an anonymous caller reported a bomb on board to Rome Fiumicino Airport. Meanwhile, a Ryanair flight from Rome to Lisbon triggered a major security operation after landing in the Portuguese capital at around 8 a.m. Portuguese authorities received the warning through a police officer and launched checks to assess the credibility of the reported threat. The latest incidents follow dozens of suspected bomb threats involving European flights earlier this week, including several travelling to or from Italy. An Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Rome was previously diverted to a military airbase in northern France, escorted by French fighter jets. Passengers were evacuated and searched with sniffer dogs before eventually arriving in Rome overnight. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
