A flight from Ireland to Italy was diverted to a military airbase in western France on Thursday because of a bomb threat, the French prime minister’s office said.
The flight landed safely at the base in Evreux in Normandy, Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu’s office said. All 151 passengers and six crew members are safe and military bomb defusal teams are examining the plane.
The prime minister’s office said that it was following the situation in real time. No other information was immediately released.
