A London-bound flight was diverted to Dublin Airport on Friday morning.

DAA confirmed a Thomson Airways flight from Cancun, Mexico to Gatwick Airport was diverted.

“I gather the crew are out of hours as a result of a delay to the flight earlier,” a spokeswoman for the DAA said.

Thomson has been contacted as to the reason for the diversion.
