An RAF spokesman said: 'The RAF can confirm Quick Reaction Alert Typhoon aircraft were launched this evening from RAF Coningsby to intercept a civilian aircraft that was causing concern. The aircraft was safely escorted to Stansted Airport.”
A plane travelling from Dalaman in Turkey to Manchester had to be diverted instead to Stansted airport and accompanied by two Eurofighter Typhoon jets after authorities became 'concerned' about the aircraft.

He added: "No announcement about diversion until the plane was stopped on the ground. We didn't know we had fighter jets escorting us down, nobody on the plane seemed too bothered. We have not been told why we are here."
