All 151 passengers and six crew members on Aer Lingus flight EI402 were safe after a bomb alert prompted the Dublin-to-Rome service to divert to Évreux in northern France, according to Le Parisien. The Airbus A320 landed at the military base at about 10 a.m. local time. Bomb disposal teams were on site.

The flight left Dublin at 6:40 a.m. and was due at Rome’s Fiumicino Airport at 10:35 a.m. local time. Flight data showed the aircraft transmitting 7700, the general emergency code, at about 8:45 a.m. French time. It was flying at 37,000 feet and had recently entered French airspace. Le Figaro reported that a French Rafale fighter jet escorted the aircraft.

The French prime minister’s office told Le Parisien that officials were following the situation in real time. Aer Lingus described the diversion as a security precaution and told The Mirror it would arrange onward travel to Rome for passengers.

The alert followed similar reports elsewhere in Europe that week. Bulgarian broadcaster BNT reported that alerts had affected three Ryanair services, including a flight from London Stansted that diverted to Plovdiv. LOT Polish Airlines also received a suspicious report concerning a Warsaw-to-Brussels flight.
