A drunk woman who was abusive to staff and smoked on board a flight to a Yorkshire airport has been jailed.
Emma Woolley was on a Jet2 flight from Antalya to Leeds Bradford in January of this year when she began disrupting other passengers. The 43-year-old mother from Wakefield had been to Turkey for dental treatment and had downed a “cocktail” of alcohol before boarding the flight, The Yorkshire Evening Post court correspondent, Nick Frame, reported. Woolley admitted entering an aircraft while drunk, smoking on an aircraft and behaving in a threatening, abusive or disorderly manner towards staff.
com said: “This sentencing should send out a stark and sobering example to the tiny minority of people who cannot enjoy their flight responsibly. 'This summer we will fly millions of hardworking customers and families away to enjoy their well-deserved holidays, but sadly there are a handful of people who behave in a disruptive fashion, often fuelled by alcohol that has been purchased in duty free and is then illicitly consumed onboard.
