A second man has been charged over an "extremely reckless" black flight plot that allegedly smuggled two fugitives into Indonesia.
The 32-year-old Queensland man is accused of being one of two pilots who were part of a plan to transport two passengers wanted in NSW out of the country.
It comes three months after a 43-year-old air charter operator was charged, accused of overseeing a sophisticated operation to help the fugitives escape.
An investigation was launched after the 32-year-old was allegedly among four men - two pilots and two passengers - detained by Indonesian officials in November 2025.
The 32-year-old and an Indonesian man are accused of piloting a plane from Coen to Port Stewart in far north Queensland with the transponder deactivated, operating as a black flight.
