A BOOZED-up Brit whose drunken outbursts caused a plane to be diverted has been jailed for 30 days and fined £58,000.
Ben Iontton, 25, hurled foul-mouthed abuse at crew and passengers on the flight from Gatwick to Los Cabos, Mexico.
The Tui Airlines jet had to be diverted to Winnipeg, Canada, where police hauled Iontton off.
The plane landed in Winnipeg just before noon local time – more than eight hours after it left London.
They later boarded the plane again, and arrested a second unruly Brit, Natalie Walker, 34.
The court heard both had been drinking throughout the flight, with their actions delaying hundreds of passengers and costing the airline thousands of pounds.
Hundreds of holidaymakers had to spend the night in Winnipeg after the chaos last week.
In court, Iontton, of Colchester, Essex, admitted criminal damage — known as mischief in Canada — and assault.
Walker, who police said was not connected to Iontton, admitted mischief and disturbing the peace.
She was also jailed for 30 days and fined about £58,000.
Upon their release the pair will be deported back to the UK.
