Robert Fowles, 58, from Dover, Kent, is accused of making a bomb hoax and being drunk on the Dubai-bound Emirates flight on Friday night, the Metropolitan Police said.
Another man on the plane, Alexander McGinn, 48, also from Dover, has also been charged with being drunk on an aircraft.
Fowles has been remanded in custody and will now appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
McGinn has been bailed and will appear at the same court on January 22, also charged with being drunk on an aircraft.
A third passenger on board the plane who was arrested at the time - a man aged 36 - was released without charge.
More than 330 passengers were on the flight at the time of the alert. They had to leave the aircraft while officers carried out a search.
Police later said they did not find any dangerous substances
