BBC:
Several flights across Europe have been impacted by bomb threats for the second time this week.
Flights bound for Italy, Poland, Bulgaria, Austria and Czechia have been affected, including an Aer Lingus plane which departed Dublin for Rome but was forced to divert to Evreux air base in northern France on Thursday morning.
Italian fighter jets escorted a Finnair flight travelling from Helsinki to the Italian capital, where it landed as scheduled.
It comes just days after eight European flights, including two departing from the UK, were targeted by suspected bomb threats. No explosives were found on any of the planes after searches.
A statement from Aer Lingus confirmed that flight EI402 from Dublin to Rome “diverted to Normandy this morning as a security precaution.”
It added: “The flight landed safely and Aer Lingus will work to re-accommodate customers to their final destination as soon as possible.”
The following flights have been affected on Thursday:
