French authorities have opened an investigation after an Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Rome, carrying 157 people, was diverted to the military air base in Évreux due to a bomb threat. The pilot reportedly refused to land at the military facility, preferring a civilian airport, forcing the French Air and Space Force to escort the aircraft with two fighter jets.
