Federal police were alerted by airline staff to an incident on-board Jetstar flight JQ17, which was travelling from Melbourne (MEL/YMML) to Phuket (HKT/VTSP) on Sunday.
The 37-year-old woman was allegedly acting in “an increasingly erratic manner” that escalated to her “verbally abusing passengers and cabin crew”, Australian Federal Police (AFP) said.
The plane was diverted to Perth Airport where officers had to forcibly remove the woman from the plane after she refused to leave on her own.
She was charged with behaving in an offensive and disorderly manner endangering safety on an aircraft.
The charge carries a maximum penalty of a $16,500 fine.
AFP Acting Superintendent Peter Brindal condemned the woman’s alleged anti-social and abusive behaviour towards staff and passengers.
