During the flight to southern Spain the pilot took the decision to turn around.
The plane landed safety at Dublin airport although emergency services were deployed as a precaution.
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.
