SINGAPORE : A 28-year-old Irish woman, accused of trying to open a door of a Singapore Airlines aircraft while it was still in flight, has been given a discharge amounting to an acquittal in a district court on Friday.

Diana Mary Scanlon, who is a chef, was charged on December 15 with trying to open the door of the plane at around 6.50am on November 30 last year.

Flight SQ327 was then flying from Munich, Germany, to Singapore.

The slim brunette looked relieved as she stood in the dock on Friday and she thanked the judge before taking her leave.

No reasons were given for her discharge.

Those who threaten the safety of an aircraft can be jailed up to a year, fined a maximum of S$5,000 or both.
