An unruly passenger was ordered to pay $11,780 after causing a flight cancellation. This includes costs incurred from the incident as well as associated fines.
Corbett was ordered to pay 8,630 Australian dollars (around $5,800) to the airline for the flight's fuel costs. He was also fined an additional 9,000 Australian dollars (around $6,000).
"This incident should serve as a warning that criminal behaviour on board can come at a heavy cost to the offender," said the AFP's acting superintendent, Shona Davis.
"It's far simpler to obey the directions of airline staff than cause unnecessary issues, which can end up hitting you in the hip pocket," she added.
