Essex Police said on Thursday evening (12 October) officers established there was “nothing of concern” onboard the Kenya Airways flights from Nairobi and that the plane was given the green light to resume operations.
Stansted continued to operate as normal throughout the whole investigation, Essex Police added.
Police officers were called to the scene earlier that afternoon as Kenya Airways flight KQ100 to Heathrow was forced to divert to Stansted after receiving a security alert from the UK about a potential threat onboard.
