Fifteen cabin and flight crew staff have been arrested after 50kg (110lbs) of cannabis was found on a flight from Johannesburg to Heathrow Airport.
The haul, worth about £150,000, was seized from a South African Airways plane, customs officials said.
Officers from the UK Border Agency found the drugs in three bags after the plane landed in London at 8am.
A customs spokesman said those being held in custody will now be interviewed by investigating officers.
