Spanish fighter plane intercepts easyJet flight after false bomb threat

Alleged social media posts by a British national prompted the Spanish Civil Guard to escort the plane to Menorca

An easyJet flight was intercepted by a Spanish fighter plane after a bomb threat was allegedly made by a British teenager onboard.

Video footage taken by a passenger on the commercial flight appears to show an F18 fighter warplane flying closely beside the easyJet flight from London Gatwick to Menorca on Sunday.
