A Pakistan International Airlines flight en route to London from Lahore was today diverted away from landing at Heathrow airport after reports of a "suspicious item" on board.
Two Royal Air Force (RAF) jets were scrambled to escort flight PK-757 to Stansted Airport, north-east of London.
The plane landed at a remote passenger bay at Stansted, where police were on alert ready to meet the aircraft.
Details of the incident are still unravelling as authorities at the airport scan passengers and their luggage.
