An Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Rome was diverted to Normandy after a bomb alert, the French prime minister’s office said.
The plane landed safely at the Evreux military airbase, Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu's office said, after the aircraft declared an in-flight emergency.
All 151 passengers and six crew members are safe and military bomb defusal teams are examining the plane.
Flight tracking sites showed that the Aer Lingus Dublin-Rome flight was approaching Paris when it turned sharply off its trajectory and made several loops before heading toward Evreux.
The incident comes days after at least seven flights, including two from the UK, were affected by bomb threats, which caused unplanned landings and temporary airport closures.
