So far inspections have not turned up hazardous or suspicious materials.The incidents followed hoax bomb threats earlier this week that prompted searches, diversions and, in one case, a military escort.More than a dozen flights were targeted, included those from Copenhagen, Dublin, Helsinki, Madrid, Milan and Warsaw.Such threats aren’t a new phenomenon but come at a time of increased geopolitical tensions and signs of “disruption,” like attacks on supermarket refrigeration systems, drone incursions in Europe and mysterious triggers to alert apps.The latest on Thursday's developments:High security at French air baseAn Aer Lingus plane rerouted to western France while en route from Dublin to Rome is standing on the tarmac at a military air base in Evreux, under an overcast sky.A Red Cross vehicle is nearby but no activity is visible at the base
