'Horrendous' drunken lout who caused misery at 34,000 ft on Manchester bound flight is jailed

A drunken lout who was aggressive to cabin crew and launched an expletive laden tirade on a Manchester bound flight has been jailed. Wesley Haining, from Salford, was one of almost 300 passengers on a TUI flight from Montego Bay in Jamaica.

Mr Haining began shouting and swearing at his partner before a female member of cabin crew intervened and warned him about his language, noting that children were present. But Haining, 45, ignored the warnings and at one stage threatened to punch her.

The captain was alerted but the aircraft could not be diverted as they were flying over the Atlantic Ocean. Now Haining has been jailed for 20 weeks after he was hauled before a court.
