It's April 15, I'm Cory with the story. This is Sydney News Today, driven by AI. A 29-year-old man and a boy from Melbourne got charged after trying to board a Sydney to Melbourne flight with fake names on Tuesday. They started yelling at airline staff when told the sit-down during taxing so the pilot scrapped takeoff and headed back to the gate. That move called an Australian federal police who pulled them off the plane and discovered their IDs didn't match the boarding passes at all. Now both face charges for using false identification to travel, which could mean up to 12 months in jail, the boy got denied bail and hit court. Wednesday, while the man made bail for May 11, airlines got to have real passenger details to spot threats and cops are on it to shut down these risks before they fly.
