Alleged air rage woman to appear in court today

A WOMAN in her early 30s is expected to appear in court today after allegedly attacking an attendant on a transatlantic flight which landed at Shannon Airport.

During the flight, the passenger, from Limerick, is said to have assaulted a member of the cabin crew. This resulted in the captain contacting air traffic controllers at the airport and requesting that gardaí meet the plane when it touched down yesterday morning.

“We were informed that the woman became disruptive onboard. We were asked to meet the flight when it came into the airport at 7.20am,” a garda spokesman said.
