An Airbus A320 plane flying from Dublin to Rome has been diverted to an air base at Évreux, France, following a bomb threat.
According to flight-tracking website Flightradar24, an Aer Lingus aircraft turned near Paris and circled over the Évreux area after declaring an in-flight emergency on Thursday.
A reported 151 passengers and six crew were on board, French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu's office said.
It added the plane had landed safely at Évreux, the passengers and crew had been moved to a safe place, and a bomb squad was on site.
France's air force said it had dispatched planes "as soon as the threat was reported".
At least seven flights and a cruise ship in Europe received bomb threats on Tuesday, disrupting airports, although no devices were discovered.
