Passengers and cabin crew fought to restrain Chloe Haines who shouted on the plane and two RAF fighter jets were scrambled to escort the plane back to Stansted Airport, Chelmsford Crown Court heard.

She also said on the plane 'I'm going to kill you all'. 

She later said that she 'blacked out and didn't really remember what happened' after mixing alcohol with medication, said prosecutor Michael Crimp.

Judge Charles Gratwicke, sentencing Haines on Wednesday, said: "Those that are trapped in the confined space of the aircraft will inevitably be distressed, frightened and petrified by the actions of those who in a drunken state endanger their lives.

"For some, it will be their worst nightmare come true."

Haines, dressed in a white shirt and black top, with her blonde hair in a ponytail, sobbed through much of the hearing.

Jet2 calculated that the incident cost them £86,000, the court heard.
