A flight operated by Ryanair was on Wednesday diverted to London Stansted after a bomb threat. Report says.
Source also confirmed that two men were arrested after the Ryanair flight which took off from Poland and heading to Ireland was diverted to a UK airport after a bomb threat was discovered in the toilets.
A note said there were explosives on board, resulting in two RAF jets being scrambled to accompany the plane to London Stansted.
“The captain followed procedure by alerting the UK authorities and diverted to the nearest airport (Stansted) where the plane landed normally but was taxied to a remote stand where passengers disembarked safely". Ryanair said in a statement.
"The aircraft and passengers are being checked by the UK police who will decide when they may travel onwards to Dublin on a spare aircraft. Passengers in Dublin waiting to depart to Kraków are being transferred to a spare aircraft to minimize any delay to their flight.”
