British police have arrested two men on a Pakistan Airlines airplane after RAF Typhoon fighter jets escorted it from Manchester Airport to Stansted Airport near London. The plane was carrying 308 passengers and 14 crew from Lahore when it was rerouted.

The Pakistani plane, flight number PK709, was due to land at Manchester Airport in North West England at 14:00 BST but was diverted over York and escorted back out over the North Sea and down the cost to Stansted, according to spokesmen from the Ministry of Defense and Manchester Airport.

A spokesman from Stansted airport has said that the plane has landed safely and is now on an isolated runway.

The airport has confirmed that no one was hurt in the incident and the passengers are now leaving the plane.
