An Aer Lingus Airbus A320 travelling from Dublin to Rome is diverted to a French airfield following a security alert. RTE reports the aircraft lands at an airfield in France after the alert, while multiple outlets describe it as being sent to a military base in France.
Several reports cite the French prime minister’s office as monitoring the situation. The Guardian adds navigation and timing details, saying the plane follows a normal flight path across the English Channel before veering south-west of Paris, circling Chartres airport, and heading toward Évreux, noting it flew past Évreux without landing.
Other outlets, including Brisbane Times, The Age, Sydney Morning Herald, Cyprus Mail, and Euronews, focus on the diversion itself and the monitoring by the French prime minister’s office, without additional flight-path specifics. Across the coverage, the core points are consistent: the flight originates in Dublin, is bound for Rome, and is diverted within France after an alert communicated via French authorities.
