A New Jersey man convicted of unruly behavior on a Hawaiian Airlines flight last year that was so disruptive that it led the pilot to turn the plane around and land in Honolulu was ordered Monday to pay the airline $97,817, according to a report.
A federal judge ruled James August must compensate Hawaiian Airlines for the cost of the fuel, crews, maintenance, landing fees and restocking the aircraft for a replacement flight, according to a report on StarAdvertiser.com.
August, however, was not ordered to pay restitution for the $46,900 in meal vouchers Hawaiian Airlines gave to passengers on two flights delayed by the incident, the report said.
