Police have issued an update after a flight heading for Manchester Airport was diverted into Stansted Airport under escort by RAF Typhoon Eurofighter jets. The Essex force said it had received reports of a potential threat on board the plane.
The aircraft, travelling from Dalaman in Turkey, was supposed to arrive in Manchester at 9.40pm on Wednesday. However Jet2 confirmed that flight LS922 was "diverted to London Stansted this evening under the direction of the UK authorities".
"The aircraft landed safely and taxied to a remote stand, and customers have now disembarked," said the Jet2 spokesperson.
