The potential threat emerged while Flight 292 was flying over the Caspian Sea. In response, the aircraft changed course and headed toward Rome’s Fiumicino Airport. It was escorted by two Eurofighter jets from the Italian Air Force to ensure a secure landing.

American Airlines later confirmed that the bomb threat, which was received via email, was determined to be unfounded.

The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, carrying 199 passengers and 15 crew members, is scheduled to continue its journey on Monday.

American Airlines flight rerouted to Rome on Sunday due to bomb threat.
