An Australian plumber who caused a hijack alert on a plane heading for Bali when he banged on the cockpit door has been charged over the midair incident since arriving back home.
Matt Lockley, who has said he mistook the cockpit of the Virgin Australia jet for the toilet, was released by Indonesian authorities on Sunday without charge and arrived back in Australia early on Tuesday where he was met by police.
A federal police statement said the 27-year-old had been served notice to appear at Brisbane Magistrates Court on June 6 "in relation to an incident on a flight between Brisbane and Bali on Friday April 25".
He faces one charge of interfering with a crew member.
