A Pakistan International Airlines plane has been diverted from Manchester to Stansted London.
According to an Essex Police spokeswoman added: "An incident has occurred on an aircraft. Police and partners are responding."
Theplane has now landed in Stansted.
According to Aviation Security International"This is certainly a significant incident, however the fact that fighter jets were scrambled to intercept is not unusual".
"Fighter jets are scrambled when there is a bomb threat, when there is a hijack, when the wrong transponder code is used or if an aircraft cannot communicate with the ground. Often the result is when there is an unruly passenger on board.
"What is interesting in this case is that it would appear that the aircraft was only 10 minutes from landing, when they decided to divert to Stansted.
So to actually change a destination 10 minutes from landing would certainly imply that there was some serious incident taking place."
