Canadian fighter jets have escorted a Cathay Pacific airliner to land at Vancouver airport, military officials said.

The flight, which originated from Hong Kong, was under a potential unspecified security threat, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (Norad) said.

The plane landed without incident at about 1340 (2040 GMT), a Norad spokesperson said.

The plane has been towed to a secure area with the passengers on board.
