Italian authorities, assisted by bomb disposal teams, reportedly searched the aircraft and passengers' luggage, but nothing was found, confirming the incident as a false alarm.

Italian media reported that the emergency landing was triggered by an anonymous tip-off. The flight was scheduled to land in Rome, which it successfully reached after departing Lisbon at 6:24am.

Another aircraft arriving at the same airport in Rome, this time from Dublin, reportedly landed under similar circumstances following a bomb threat on board. The aircraft was escorted by the Italian Air Force before landing, but once again, no dangerous items were found.

The two false alarms add to five other emergency landings reported across Europe in the past 24 hours.
