A 41-year-old Frenchman has been charged with possession of an air rifle and a knife, following a major security alert at Gatwick Airport.
The airport's North Terminal was closed for more than six hours on Saturday morning after police were alerted to the "suspicious actions" of a man.
A man was seen to discard an item in an airport bin in the "landside" area of the airport which precedes the security checks, police said.
