ornado jets have escorted a New York-bound Olympic Airlines passenger jet into Stansted Airport after a bomb alert.

Sky's James Matthews said the pilot called through a 'mayday' because he believed there was a bomb on board.


The plane was flying from Athens to New York when it was diverted to the Essex airport.

The passengers have been escorted from the plane.

It is not clear yet whether a device has been found.

A Stansted airport spokesman said the plane was diverted under "full emergency conditions".
