An EasyJet flight en route from the United Kingdom to the island of Menorca was intercepted by a Spanish Air Force F/A-18 Hornet over the weekend after a passenger aboard the flight made a fake bomb threat online, according to reports.
An 18-year-old man on board the two-hour flight from London Gatwick (EGKK) to Menorca (LEMH) was accused of making the threat. He was apprehended and spent at least one night in jail while awaiting a court appearance, a Spain Civil Guard police spokesperson told Reuters.
