Aer Lingus Flight Forced To Return To Dublin Airport
An Aer Lingus flight was forced to return to Dublin Airport 90 minutes into its journey to Malaga after an undisclosed problem on board the aircraft.
During the flight to southern Spain the pilot took the decision to turn around.
It landed safety at Dublin although emergency services were deployed.
Last year a bomb threat delayed an Aer Lingus flght from Malaga to Dublin but was later declared as a hoax.
This August, the UK Foreign Office warned of a 'high threat' from terrorism in Spain after a number of small explosions caused disruption near the popular resorts of Torremolinos and Benalmadena.
