Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Rome diverted following security alert

An Aer Lingus plane, travelling from Dublin to Rome this morning, has been diverted to Evreux airbase following a security alert.

Flight EI402 left Dublin at around 6 am this morning and was travelling to Rome Fiumicino Airport.

The French Prime Minister's Office has said that they are monitoring the situation.

Several other flights across Europe received bomb threats this week, and this has caused diversions and searches.

This is a breaking story, and more will follow.
