An easyJet flight to Menorca was given a Spanish fighter plane escort because an 18-year-old British holidaymaker had allegedly made a bomb threat on board, it emerged today.
He was last night facing a potential bill running into the thousands after being arrested by police after the plane touched down and specialist officers and sniffer dogs boarded to check out the aircraft.
The youngster is believed to have been part of a group of friends who had travelled to the Mediterranean holiday island for a celebration from Gatwick.
