A Hawaiian woman has been ordered to pay nearly $40,000 in restitution to American Airlines after she interfered with a crew member and forced her flight to be diverted.
Cayla Farris, 29, was sentenced by District Judge Susan Brnovich to a sentence served of 3.6 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Arizona said in a statement.
During that time, Farris will not be allowed to travel on commercial aircraft without prior approval.
He was also ordered to pay $38,952.00 in restitution to American Airlines for costs related to the delay due to his actions on a flight from Phoenix to Honolulu on February 13, 2022.
“During the flight, Farris used profanity and threatened the flight crew and passengers on board. As a result of his behavior, the flight crew was unable to continue with their duties,” the statement said.

Farris pleaded guilty on Sept. 12 to interfering with a flight crew member.
