There is currently no disruption operations at Stansted, with the plane held away from the airport and main passenger terminal at the airport.

An Essex police spokesman told the BBC: “There is no disruption to the on-going operation of Stansted Airport.

“This is not believed to be a hijack situation or terror matter.”

The plane had been on route to Heathrow Airport from Lahore in Pakistan.
