Title: RAF jets intercept flight after security 'hoax'
Post by: Anmer on October 04, 2017, 10:40:28 AM
RAF Typhoon jets intercepted a passenger flight and diverted it to Stansted Airport following a suspected "hoax" security alert.

The RAF said its quick reaction alert Typhoon aircraft were deployed on Wednesday morning and safely escorted the plane to the airport near London.

Ryanair said the flight from Kaunas in Lithuania, originally destined for Luton, landed normally.
