Woman accused in connection with flight to Egypt is contesting case
A woman charged with failing to obey a lawful command on, according to the charge sheet, 'easyJet flight Belfast International Airport to Hurghada' in Egypt, has had the case adjourned to December 23.
Nadine Nugent (35), of Ardmoulin Place in Belfast, is also charged with behaving 'in a threatening, abusive, insulting or disorderly manner towards a member of the crew of an aircraft'.
She is further charged with assaulting three people - two females and a male - and making a threat to kill one of the females.
There is a seventh charge that she 'entered an aircraft when drunk or were drunk in an aircraft'.
A defence barrister told Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena, the "majority" of incidents appeared to have occurred "on the tarmac" at an airport in Egypt and he said there may be "territorial issues" and issues about whether the plane is "British controlled".
The lawyer said the defendant is a social worker. The case was adjourned to December 23 ahead of a contest listed for January 26 next year.
