A ‘nightmare’ flier on a Jet2 plane who slapped a fellow passenger and screamed in a terrified air-stewardess’ face has been hit with a huge fine and banned for life.

The raging woman can be seen in viral footage being hauled off the flight from Manchester Airport to Antalya, Turkey. She’s now been slammed with a £5,000 fine for her violent outburst after being seen screaming and marching up and down a flight which had to be diverted to Vienna just over two hours after leaving the UK.
