An airline passenger arrested after a late-night flight from Barcelona to the UK was diverted has been charged with being drunk on an aircraft.
Daniel Fletcher, of McNeill Avenue in Crewe, will appear in court next month after the disturbance on board an easyJet flight to Liverpool at 11.30pm on Thursday meant the flight was instead re-directed to Bristol.
