RAF Typhoon fighter jets were launched to intercept an Air India flight from Mumbai to London after a bomb threat was reported.
The aircraft was diverted to Stansted Airport, where passengers were safely evacuated.
Investigations revealed the threat was a hoax, amid rising concerns over security for Indian airlines.
Authorities are increasing measures to combat a recent wave of similar false threats.
