A call for a review to allow for tougher sentences is made as a man is fined for drunken abuse.
A judge has called for the Air Navigation Order to be reviewed to enable courts to impose tougher sentences, including jail time.
He highlighted that McCann's offences "carry only a fine" and said that perhaps they should carry the threat of imprisonment, "as that may deter others from acting on a similar fashion". The court heard that during the flight McCann attempted to use his phone during take-off and refused to comply with instructions from the cabin manager.
The court heard that McCann continued to behave in a disruptive manner, swearing and demanding alcohol.
