@rteradio1: Italian, French and Bulgarian fighter jets were scrambled today as at least 14 European flights - including an Aer Lingus flight from Dublin - were hit by hoax bomb alerts for the third day this week, authorities and airlines said. The hoaxes particularly targeted carriers and flights to or from Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Italy. Three flights were diverted in all, but all the jets landed safely with no explosives found. More than 20 hoaxes have now been reported this week, with Ryanair the victim of at least seven. Aer Lingus Flight EI402 left Dublin Airport at 6.24am this morning, travelling to Rome Fiumicino Airport. Dubliner Katie McAteer was on that plane, and spoke to #NewsAtOne
