A MAN has been arrested on suspicion of making a hoax bomb threat while on board a Manchester-bound Qatar Airways flight from Doha.

The plane was escorted into Ringway shortly before 2pm by a RAF jet after reports of a 'device' on board.

Greater Manchester Police tweeted: "A man who was onboard the plane at @manairport has been arrested on suspicion of making a hoax bomb threat."

More soon.
