RAF Typhoon fighters from RAF Coningsby scrambled to intercept a Ryanair flight from Krakow amid fears of a pilot communication loss. The plane was escorted safely to an emergency landing at London Stansted Airport.
The Ryanair flight FR1902 reportedly lost contact with air traffic control, triggering immediate action. Two Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) Typhoons were launched to escort the jet.
The Ryanair aircraft touched down and was parked on the west side of the airfield. This area is usually reserved for hijack or in-flight passenger incident responses, indicating the seriousness of the situation.
There have been no further updates yet, but the swift response ensured the safety of all onboard. More details are expected as investigations continue.
