A British teenager faces a fine of up to £50,000 after being accused of making a false bomb threat on social media before an easyJet flight on Sunday.

An easyJet flight to Menorca was intercepted by a Spanish fighter plane on 3 July after a British teenager onboard allegedly made a threat on a social media channel.
