He doesn't sound like a Greenpeace kinda guy to me

Although I suppose you could make a case for Plane Stupid...

A 27-year-old man is due in court on Saturday charged with aircraft endangerment after a major security alert was sparked at the UK's biggest airport.

Ketheeswaran Uthayakumar, of no fixed abode, is due to appear in custody at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court, west London, charged with aircraft endangerment.

He was arrested near the northern runway of Heathrow Airport in west London on Friday.The security breach came the day before the Queen opened the new £4.3 billion Terminal 5 building - and was the second serious security breach at the airport within 18 days.

The incident caused flight delays and some cancellations.

The northern runway was partially closed but later reopened.

British Airways was among airlines who suffered flight delays and cancellations.

The airport is understood to have been testing security ahead of the unveiling of the state-of-the-art Terminal 5, a major landmark in the airport's expansion.

The incident was the second time in recent weeks that Heathrow security had been breached, and aviation experts said it was bound to lead to even tighter security.

Greenpeace protesters walked on to the runway late last month and climbed on to a Boeing 777, unfurling a banner in protest against the airport's expansion. Two days later members of the Plane Stupid group breached security at Westminster, climbing on to the roof and unfurling banners. Both groups denied involvement in this incident.
