Conor McGregor[1] has boarded a jet and is returning to the United States ... where he's scheduled to appear in an NYC courtroom to face charges for his attack on a UFC bus back in April. 

McGregor is facing several criminal charges -- including felony criminal mischief -- for the April 5 incident at Barclay's Center when he threw a steel dolly[2] at a UFC bus.

Several people were injured in the incident -- including multiple UFC fighters and staff. 

Conor spent the night in jail[3] and eventually flew back to Ireland[4].

imageBut Tuesday, McGregor posted a photo in front of a private jet -- presumably the plane he'll take to return to the U.S.

McGregor is reportedly working on a plea deal with prosecutors -- and, since he's facing 7 years[5] in prison if convicted, it's in his best interest to cut a deal.

Stay tuned ...
