00:00Bomb alerts continued to affect flights across Europe on Friday, with aircraft in Portugal,
00:05France and Italy affected.
00:07A Ryanair flight from Rome to Lisbon landed safely in the Portuguese capital shortly on
00:12Friday after a warning of a possible explosive device on board.
00:16Portuguese media reported that police had received a call about the threat.
00:20There was no confirmation of explosive being found on board.
00:24Meanwhile, France reported four more alerts involving planes flying over French territory.
00:30All the aircraft landed safely, with security checks subsequently carried out in all instances.
00:35A Viz air flight from Prague to Rome was also diverted to Venice after another bomb alert.
00:41The incidents followed bomb scares affecting at least 25 flights across Europe on Thursday.
00:48EU officials said it was too early to know whether the cases were linked, but the Irish
00:52government said they and additional hoax threats in Dublin were likely part of a coordinated
00:57campaign of disruption.
