An EasyJet passenger was arrested and banned from travelling abroad after she punched a pilot in the face.
Nicola Nyamanhindi, 30, launched her attack last month after being asked to leave the flight to Paphos, Cyprus, from Manchester Airport.
Cabin crew had noticed Nyamanhindi was unresponsive as they prepared for take-off, and feared she was ‘under the influence’, Trafford magistrates was told.
