The airline says it was diverted so as to offload a "disruptive guest on board".

The person must have been well disruptive to get there plane escorted by two Jets.

I like to arrive in style, no need for the panic.

LBC have confirmed that Etihad said it was to offload a disruptive passenger.

Maybe topgun06 was right the first time then.

That's because they've hijacked the news.

That only happened the once, and I've said sorry. There's no need to keep bringing it up.

If it was landing at LHR why not just continue the journey?

To make an approach to Heathrow, it is necessary for hte aircraft to pass overhead central London at a few thousand feet. When a passenger on board claims to have a bomb he is going to explode, overhead central London usually isn't the best place to put a plane!

Don't escorts usually break off like a few miles from the destination? or do they go all the way - in this case seeing the PJ all the way to the airport?

Depends on the situation. If the threat has not been confirmed neutralised before, they will escort it until it is on the tarmac and hang around.

Makes sense. VIPs and prisoners with the same kind of treatment when it comes to escorts then - depending on which VIP

When you say you've been with, is that escorting or being escorted?

London Today just said it was a 37yr old British national who was making threats and being disruptive. Airport is back to normal.
