A nightmare passenger has been jailed after he downed three bottles of Bulmers cider and assaulted a member of staff for telling him he was too drunk to a board a flight.
Glenn Bailey, from Leeds, was boarding 6.20pm RyanAir flight from Leeds Bradford Airport to Girona in Spain on July 13 this year when he ended up in a confrontation with a member of staff.
Leeds Crown Court heard on Wednesday that the 55-year-old became violent and attempted to grab the man by the throat after he suggested he was "perhaps drunk" — but only got hold of his collar instead.
