Bomb scare plane lands safely after checks

A PLANE landed safely at Dublin Airport yesterday having been diverted to a French airport after a bomb scare.

The chartered Boeing 737 carrying more than 140 passengers was diverted to Lyon in the south of France after stewards apparently discovered a note with the words “Bomb 11 September” on it.

French authorities removed one Irish couple from the Icelandic Air jet chartered by tour operator Topflight for questioning. The rest of the passengers were then asked to assemble in the terminal.
