Fine for Glasgow Airport air rage man
07.06.08
Passengers on a flight to Glasgow Airport were shocked when the calm of their business-class section was shattered by a drunk singing pro-IRA songs. Paisley Sheriff Court heard how the incident caused a drama on the aircraft as it approached the airport on February 15.
Cabin crew on the KLM flight from Amsterdam had already regretted serving a whisky and two beers to tipsy John McFadden when he declined their offer of a meal after take-off. Refused more alcohol began to hurl abuse and called a stewardess a ‘f*****g bitch’. When she complained and he said ‘f**k you’ in response, a fellow passenger intervened. Mr McFadden reacted by threatening him with ‘a doing’.
The consultant electronic engineer, 41 and of Paisley, pleaded guilty to conducting himself in a disorderly manner, placing cabin crew and passengers in a state of fear and alarm, shouting and swearing, uttering political remarks, and committing a breach of the peace.
Sheriff George Kavanagh said that as the accused had spent three days in custody on arrival, the fine would be limited to £600.
