Boy, man charged after aircraft chaos

A domestic flight was forced back to the terminal after a man and a 15-year-old boy allegedly boarded using false identities and then became verbally abusive towards airline staff while the aircraft was taxiing.

Australian Federal Police allege the pair, both from Melbourne, boarded the flight from Sydney on Tuesday using incorrect details on their boarding passes.

As the aircraft prepared for takeoff, the man, 29, and the boy allegedly became abusive after being told to take their seats, prompting the pilot to return the plane to the gate and request AFP assistance.

Officers escorted both passengers off the flight.

Police then attempted to confirm their identities but allege the names provided at check-in did not match their identification documents.

The man and boy have each been charged with one count of travelling using false identification information.

The boy was refused bail and appeared in a NSW Children's Court on Wednesday.

The man was granted bail and is expected to appear before Downing Centre Local Court on May 11.

AFP Acting Inspector Craig Bruce said flying with false credentials was a serious offence as it was often done to evade law enforcement detection.

"Fraudulent use of identity documents can facilitate other criminal activity," Inspector Bruce said

"It's important that airlines are provided the correct details of all passengers on board and the AFP works closely with airline staff and partners to identify and disrupt potential threats at our airports."
