LONDON (AP) – Police are on the scene after a plane from Nairobi bound for London’s Heathrow Airport was diverted to land at Stansted airport instead. Stansted said the Kenya Airways 787 landed safely on Thursday afternoon and is parked at a remote stand, away from the terminal. The Essex Police force says officers are “attending an incident” at Stansted. It says the airport remains open.
