US Woman Faces Rs 33 Lakh Fine And Prison Time for In-Flight Chaos

A Hawaiian woman has been ordered to pay almost $40,000 in restitution to American Airlines.

A woman in the United States has been ordered by a court to pay nearly $40,000 to American Airlines as compensation for causing a disturbance with a crew member, leading to the diversion of her flight.

The person causing trouble is Cayla Farris, a 29-year-old from Hawaii. District Judge Susan Brnovich ordered last week that she should spend a bit more than three months in prison. After that, she has to be supervised for three years. Additionally, she has to give $38,952 to American Airlines to cover the costs of the delays she caused. She admitted to causing problems with the flight crew on September 12.

This all happened on a flight from Phoenix, Arizona, to Honolulu, Hawaii, on February 13, 2022. While on the plane, Farris threatened the people working on the plane and other passengers, using bad language.
