Dozens of flights across Europe reported bomb threats this week, disrupting air travel across London, Dublin, and Helsinki.
BBC News
What the coverage shows
All three outlets lead on the diversion of a Dublin-to-Rome flight to France after a bomb threat. France 24 and NBC News both specify a French military or air force base, with France 24 naming Evreux airbase and attributing the information to the French prime minister’s office. Al Jazeera is the only one to add a second note about a separate incident in Bulgaria and a broader string of bomb threats across Europe.
