New 6 November bomb threats divert four flights over France and trigger security checks across Europe
Published:
What changed
On 6 November 2026, four passenger aircraft flying over France were diverted for security inspections, with three landing at Paris-Orly and one at Bordeaux. Separate bomb threats prompted repeat passenger and baggage screening for Ryanair's Lisbon-to-Rome flight FR8197 and security procedures for passengers and crew arriving at Amsterdam-Schiphol on KLM's Prague service KL1352. Hungarian fighter jets also escorted a threatened Brussels-to-Sofia passenger aircraft through Hungarian airspace.
Does this affect me?
Passengers aboard the four aircraft diverted into France were directly affected by unscheduled landings and security inspections. Travelers booked on Ryanair flight FR8197 from Lisbon to Rome were required to undergo repeat passenger and baggage screening. Passengers and crew arriving at Amsterdam-Schiphol on KLM flight KL1352 from Prague underwent security procedures following their arrival. The Brussels-to-Sofia passenger flight was subject to a military escort over Hungary. The available evidence does not establish general airport closures or widespread cancellations at the affected airports.
What should I do?
Passengers who traveled on the affected flights should check directly with their operating airlines for confirmed arrival arrangements, onward connections and any necessary rebooking. Follow airline, airport and security-authority instructions if additional screening or operational changes apply. Travelers with other flights through Paris-Orly, Bordeaux, Lisbon, Amsterdam or the other affected locations should check their individual flight status rather than assume a general airport shutdown. The reported security procedures do not establish continuing restrictions on unrelated flights.
