The first migrant has been sent back to France under the "one in, one out" deal struck between the UK and France, the BBC understands.
The man was removed this morning and the flight has already landed in Paris.
He originated from India and departed on an Air France flight this morning.
It comes after the temporary blocking of the deportation of an Eritrean man on modern slavery grounds sparked concerns that the migrant deal may be frustrated by legal challenges.

The French allegedly requested an Indian migrant because they could then offer him €2,500 to leave voluntarily.
If the migrant refuses, he will face expulsion from the country rather than the chance of asylum, as France has a reciprocal arrangement with India to accept enforced returns
