An Aer Lingus Airbus A320 passenger plane, flying from Dublin to Rome, was diverted to Évreux air base in Fauville, France, after a bomb threat alert.
The French prime minister's office said the situation was being closely monitored for the plane, which was diverted due to the threat.
"We are closely monitoring the situation regarding the plane diverted following a bomb threat," the office of French Prime Minister Sebastien Le Corneille said, according to Reuters.
According to reports, Aer Lingus flight EI402 departed Dublin International Airport at 6:23 a.m. and was scheduled to land at Rome's Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci Airport at 10:50 a.m.
Greece has also been involved in the wave of bomb threats on passenger planes that has swept the European continent in recent days.
Two Greek Aegean Airlines planes, one traveling from Athens to Vienna and the other from Thessaloniki to Milan, were put on alert after calls warning of bombs being placed on board.
Both planes did not change their destinations, but completed their flights and landed safely at their destinations. After landing, passengers and crew were evacuated, while authorities began checks for explosives.
These incidents follow a series of threats in several European countries. On Tuesday alone, at least seven planes and a cruise ship belonging to a Greek company faced bomb threats.
Nothing suspicious has been found from the checks so far. Authorities are investigating whether the threats are related, while the local press has alluded to hackers from Russia and Iran.
