Two men have been arrested after a plane was forced to make an emergency landing at Stansted Airport.
The Sri Lankan Airlines A330 Airbus, which was carrying 267 passengers and crew, was due to land at Heathrow Airport but was diverted to the Essex airport just after 7.30pm on Friday.
Officers boarded the plane and arrested the pair on suspicion of endangering an aircraft, Essex Police said.
A spokesman for the force said: "The passengers have been removed safely and inquiries are ongoing."
The remaining passengers are being looked after at a reception centre at Stansted and are due to be transferred to Heathrow later this morning.
A spokesman for Stansted said last night: "Stansted Airport can confirm a Sri Lankan Airlines Airbus A330 diverted into Stansted at approximately 19.30 this evening.
"The aircraft, which was flying from Columbo to Heathrow, landed safely with Essex Police in attendance.
"The airport is open and flights are arriving and departing as normal."
In May this year, two men were arrested on board a plane from Pakistan carrying 297 passengers that was intercepted and diverted to Stansted by RAF typhoon jets.
Police later said the incident in May was being treated as criminal rather than terrorism-related.
