Plane from Lahore to Manchester was diverted to Stansted after onboard incident.
Two men have been arrested on suspicion of endangerment of an aircraft after an incident on a plane flying from Pakistan to Britain, rattling the UK just days after a British soldier was killed on a London street in a suspected terror attack.
A fighter jet was launched to divert the Pakistan International Airlines plane carrying nearly 300 passengers to Britain’s Stansted Airport, officials said.
The plane, which took off from Lahore, Pakistan, was originally supposed to have landed in Manchester.
