I seem to recall that being drunk and disorderly on a plane is a significant offence?

See this example:

"As well as 200 other passengers having to put up with the drunken behaviour, passengers who are drunk are a serious risk to the safety of the aircraft and may even cause the flight to be diverted to a nearby airport so that they can be removed from the aircraft."

"Getting drunk on an aircraft is an offence punishable by a jail sentence under Air Navigation Orders 2005."

"Officers were waiting for the plane when it arrived and arrested the man. He was taken into custody and charged the following day with drunkenness on an aircraft.
Tobin was sentenced to a 12-week jail term when he appeared in court a fortnight ago.
