PARIS — European commercial aviation faced a fresh wave of security alerts on Friday as at least four new bomb threats targeted aircraft flying over French territory. The incident marks the third time this week that similar disruptions have affected flights across the continent.
According to the French prime minister's office, all of the targeted planes successfully landed without injury, and bomb disposal units immediately began security inspections. Authorities have launched an official investigation to trace the origin of the coordinated threats impacting air travel throughout Europe, which have resulted in dozens of planes being searched or diverted over the course of the week.
