British authorities have charged two men with endangering an aircraft after a plane carrying more than 300 people from Pakistan to Britain was diverted mid-flight.
Essex Police said on Sunday that 30-year-old taxi driver Tayyab Subhani and 41-year-old restaurant worker Mohammed Safdar will appear in court on Monday.
Both men, from Lancashire in northwestern England, remain in custody.
A Typhoon fighter jet was scrambled on Friday to divert the Pakistan International Airlines plane travelling from Lahore, Pakistan, to Manchester, and forced it to land at London's Stansted Airport.
The Boeing 777 plane landed safely.
Details about what happened onboard are sketchy but a security official said the situation did not appear to be terror-related.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Agreed, I'd rather not see another aircraft turned into a kamikaze mission. It's not yet clear as to whether there's a terror link or motive, but they've been held for further investigation and probably they're looking at some jail time by the time this is all sorted out.
