Jet2 has sent out a “stark and sobering” warning after a woman was jailed for smoking on one of their Leeds-bound flights.
Emma Woolley from Wakefield was given a four-month sentence after she was drunk and abusive towards cabin crew before lighting up in the toilets during the flight from Turkey. Phil Ward, managing Director of Jet2.com said: “This sentencing should send out a stark and sobering example to the tiny minority of people who cannot enjoy their flight responsibly.
” Woolley, 43, was on a flight from Antalya in Turkey to Leeds Bradford on January 4 this year and had smuggled her own booze on board. When crew were alerted she became confrontational and asked the staff: “What are you going to do?” She then rolled a cigarette and went into the toilets. When staff confronted her again she told it was “only three puffs”. Woolley, of Warren Avenue, Wakefield, was detained when the flight landed and officers noticed she was still slurring her speech.
