A woman has appeared in court accused of attacking cabin crew after getting drunk on board a holiday jet.

Zoe Alexander, 33, is said have become ‘aggressive’ and ‘kicked out’ out at staff and verbally abused passengers on a TUI flight from Manchester to Cuba.

Manchester Magistrates’ Court heard how Alexander allegedly became drunk and ‘more intoxicated’ on the flight and tried to access a ‘premium area’ of the plane.

The captain of the plane was alerted and he contacted authorities on the ground, the court heard, and Alexander was arrested when she arrived on the return flight to Manchester.
