(19:54) Aer Arann says that two military aircraft were detected near one of its planes, forcing it to move off its flight path this afternoon, shortly after take off from Edinburgh Airport.

The company has said that on-board equipment detected the two planes, and Scottish Air Traffic Control advised the pilot of Aer Arann flight RE464 to descend immediately to a lower altitude as a precaution.

The plane landed safely at its destination, Cork Airport, at 15.45. None of the 32 passengers or crew suffered any injury.
