RAF fighter jets have escorted a Pakistan International Airlines aircraft to Stansted airport.
British police said the passenger flight was diverted to Stansted due to reports of a disruptive passenger.
The incident was not believed to be a hijack or a terrorism matter, police said.
An RAF spokesman said: "The RAF can confirm Quick Reaction Alert Typhoon aircraft were launched this afternoon from RAF Coningsby to intercept a civilian aircraft.
"The aircraft was intercepted and safely escorted to Stansted airport."
Flight tracking websites said PIA flight PK757 from Lahore had been due to land at Heathrow.
