A WOMAN verbally abused cabin crew on a UK flight from the Canaries after a drunken row with her partner with the pilot eventually forced to divert to an Irish airport.
Gemma Campbell (33), who runs her own cleaning business in Manchester in the UK, was fined €1,500 after what Cork District Court was told was totally unacceptable behaviour in which a male flight attendant was subjected to homophobic slurs and other passengers were left very upset by the disturbance.
Campbell of Elston Road, Manchester, appeared before Judge Colm Roberts at a special sitting of Cork District Court arising out of incidents on December 27 when a Manchester-bound flight from the Canaries had to divert to Cork because of an unruly passenger.
