Two Britons, aged 30 and 41, to appear in court on Monday after flight from Pakistan to Manchester diverted to Stansted on Friday
Two men will appear in court charged with endangering an aircraft after a passenger jet was diverted mid-flight on Friday.
The men, British nationals aged 30 and 41 who have not been named, will appear at Chelmsford magistrates court on Monday.
They were detained on Friday when a Pakistan International Airlines flight from Pakistan to Manchester was diverted to Stansted airport in Essex, where it landed at 2.15pm.
An RAF Typhoon jet was scrambled to escort the Boeing 777 over UK airspace, and the pair were arrested after armed police boarded the plane.
