France has apologised to Bolivia for refusing to allow President Evo Morales' jet into its airspace, blaming conflicting information.
Bolivia accused France, Italy, Spain and Portugal of blocking the plane.
It said some wrongly believed United States fugitive Edward Snowden was on board.
Speaking in Berlin, French President Francois Hollande said he granted permission as soon as he knew it was Morales' plane.
President Morales was flying back to Bolivia from Moscow when the plane was forced to stop in Vienna.
