Singapore - A Singapore court on Friday fined a Danish aircraft engineer a total of 1,200 Singapore dollars (780 US dollars) for being drunk and behaving in a disorderly manner on board a Singapore Airlines flight, news report said.

Kim Borch Petersen, 39, pleaded guilty to being drunk on board the flight from London to Singapore on Thursday and also admitted to shouting, uttering vulgarities and pushing a steward, the online edition of Straits Times newspaper reported.

After taking three glasses of red wine and two glasses of brandy, the Danish engineer created a commotion and argued with a passenger.

When two stewards advised him to calm down, he refused and behaved in an unruly manner. Despite being warned, he persisted in his behaviour and was eventually restrained.

Petersen said in court that he was very sorry for his behaviour, the report said. (dpa)
