A 51-year-old British man has been arrested in Norway after a Ryanair plane received a bomb threat while in the air, police said.
Danish F-16 military aircraft scrambled to escort the plane to Oslo Airport, the Danish Defence Command said on Twitter.
The situation is under control and police have arrested the man on suspicion of being behind the threat, police said in a statement.
The aircraft will now be examined by the emergency squad and bomb group, police said, adding all passengers were safely evacuated.
"The plane landed safely and evacuation of the passengers was initiated immediately," the statement said. "The plane is now being searched by the police, including personnel from the bomb squad."
"The police are in control of the incident and have arrested a 51-year-old man, suspected of being behind the threats. The man is a British citizen."
Olav Unnestad, head of joint operational services in the Eastern Police District, said: "We have initiated an investigation of the case and will interrogate the man as soon as possible."
There were 142 passengers on board, plus an undisclosed number of crew members, a senior police official told Norwegian media.
"Crew on a Ryanair flight from London Stansted to Oslo today discovered a note that claimed there was a potential security threat on board," a Ryanair spokeswoman said.
"The captain followed procedures and continued to Oslo airport where the plane landed safely. Customers remained on board while authorities carried out a security search."
