An Aer Lingus plane flying from Dublin to Rome was among a number of flights across Europe affected by bomb threats. 

Cork Airport also received an anonymous phone threat, leading to a 90-minute delay to a flight.

At least eight flights across the continent were confirmed to have been targeted, including services from Copenhagen, Helsinki, Madrid, Milan and Warsaw.
