James Rae called a staff member a derogatory name, shouted abuse at others onboard and spilled a drink over a young child on the TUI flight from Glasgow to Turkey.
A drunken air passenger who spilled booze on a child and caused a flight to be grounded has been locked up.
Judge Stephen Earl has today jailed Rae for eight months and told him: "The one thing that stands out in this case is deterrence, not only deterring you but to ensure other people understand if you get on an aircraft and you are drunk, this is the sort of sentence you can expect." Prosecutor Antonia Adie told the court a crew worker had noticed Rae and his partner acting "loud and jolly" as they boarded the flight but thought there was nothing wrong at first.
She said: "For a little while after that the defendant didn't understand why he was not allowed to drink his own alcohol. The cabin manager on the flight noticed the situation was not getting any better and the captain made the decision to divert the Newcastle due to the fact the defendant was drinking and was not able to follow lawful instructions."
