Disruptive Jet2 passenger getting a big bill
Mods: Please move as appropriate.
The *Idiot* that caused a Jet2 aircraft to be diverted to STN escorted by 2 RAF Typhoons (which caused a sonic boom over land whilst en route to intercept) is getting an £85K bill according to the press.

No news from Plod regarding actually charging her for endangering the aircraft - probably a slap on the wrist there if the UK police follow form.
Perhaps Jet2's action will make some think before being rather silly on an aircraft.

She was arrested and bailed. The delay/lack of a charge is probably DPP rather than Plod.

If you charge someone with endangering an aircraft you need to prove to a court beyond reasonable doubt that that person’s actions endangered the aircraft. Being drunk and shouty while trying to hit cabin crew may be unpleasant and frightening for some passengers, but it does not even come close to endangering the aircraft.

Nice pic of the two RAF Typhoons... Daily Mail living up to their reputation.
Maybe the MoD should bill her too..Scrambling Typhoons isn't cheap.

However, if this person does declare bankruptcy she will find life pretty difficult getting any credit, now or in the future as an undischarged bankrupt I suspect. Actually - who gives a toss?

I honestly don't know what a Typhoon looks like, but I find it hard to believe that BOTH of these aircraft are Typhoons...
Good on Jet2 anyway. Nice clear message. Hope the lifetime ban gets spread around the industry, before she pulls the same stunt at RYR/EZY too.

Lifetime of misery from debts collectors or bankruptcy, better than a 30 quid slap on the wrist and some community service. Given simple parking fines can explode in value when it’s unpaid the culprit here is pretty screwed and most likely bankruptcy is the only option. A great deterrent IMO.

Some fairly rich men have been arrested for disruptive behaviour aboard aircraft.
Maybe the airlines should target their response on a couple of high profile cases against people who can be chased for the dough.
