Two men arrested after reports of a "suspicious device" in a passenger plane's toilet have been released without charge.
RAF jets were scrambled to intercept the Ryanair plane and escorted it to Stansted at about 19:00 BST on Sunday.
Counter-terror officers detained two men but an object in the bathroom has been "found not to be of concern" after an investigation.
The men are not considered to have committed any offences, police said.
Typhoon jets from RAF Coningsby intercepted the plane and escorted it to Stansted.
The Eastern Region Special Operations Unit said the men were detained under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act.
But in a new statement on Monday they said: "After examination by specialist investigators, the object was found not to be of concern.
"Officers spoke with the two men and neither were considered to have committed any offences."
Det Supt Andy Waldie said: "We understandably take any reports of suspicious objects or behaviour on flights very seriously and thankfully on this occasion there was no cause for concern.
"I'd like to thank those on the flight for their cooperation and understanding while officers conducted their inquiries."
