From a Romanian web site - Un avion Blue Air a aterizat de urgenta la Palermo dupa ce era sa se prabuseasca in Mediterana

As reported and tranlated by google,
According to Digi24, the pilot managed to restore the aircraft when it was 100 meters above sea level

Google translate of Blue Air release:
UPDATE 16:50 - In a Blue Air release, it explains what happened.
"Because of bad weather conditions, Blue Air flight 0B2945 which took off today from Bacau to Catania was forced to make a stop at Palermo reserve airport, where the 126 passengers and the six crew members landed safely. The exact cause behind the Boeing 737 aircraft being forced to discontinue the race was mainly the strong breeze with the shear phenomenon as well as the severe turbulence near the airport, "said News.ro.

Looks like Ryanair 4066 diverted as well.
