A Derry/Londonderry woman has today denied an air rage incident.
While defence solicitor Keith Kyle told Antrim Magistrates Court that Sarah McGuire did accept a charge of using disorderly behaviour at Belfast International Airport on 18 October this year, the 39-year-old was denying all other charges against her.
Antrim Magistrates Court
McGuire, from Tyrconnell Street in Derry, entered not guilty pleas to two counts of common assault, behaving in a threatening, abusive or insulting manner towards a member of aircraft crew, being drunk in a plane and refusing to obey the lawful command of an aircraft commander.
The facts have yet to be opened but it is understood the charges arise following an incident in a Belfast to Edinburgh flight which led to McGuire being escorted off.
In a video of the incident, McGuire allegedly assaults two men and launches into an anti-mask tirade.
District Judge Nigel Broderick adjourned the case to 15 December when a date will be fixed for her contest.
