THE woman who allegedly stormed the cockpit of a Jet2 flight is a Costa worker with a drink-drive ban, the Sun Online can reveal today.

Two RAF Typhoon fighters were scrambled to intercept the Airbus 321 after a hijack alert was sparked on the flight bound for Turkey.
Passengers revealed they were terrified as shocking footage showed staff pinning down the young woman as she started screaming.
Today the Sun Online can reveal the woman is a Costa Coffee worker who lives at home with her family in Maidenhead, Berkshire.
It can also be revealed she was convicted of drink-driving just two weeks before the Jet2 incident.
Speaking today, one friend said they didn’t know why Chloe had started to “kick off”, adding: “She’s quite worried about it.
“She could go to prison and face a hefty fine.”
Describing her as a “girl about town”, he said she had previously faced problems with drinking.
On June 4, she was banned from the road for 28 months after drink-driving and ordered to pay £170 court costs.
She was also given a series of community orders for three assaults and fined £450 at Slough Magistrates’ Court.
‘SHE COULD GO TO PRISON’
Chloe, who went to Newlands Girls’ School, Maidenhead, currently works at a Costa Express branch in the south-east.
Speaking to the Sun Online yesterday, relatives outside her home said she wasn’t there and wouldn’t want to talk.
Jet2 vowed to prosecute Chloe over the incident in a strongly-worded statement after she was pulled from the plane.
Essex Police confirmed officers arrested a 25-year-old woman on suspicion of common assault, criminal damage and endangering an aircraft. She has been released on bail until July 30.
Witnesses earlier revealed how they were in fear for their lives after their fellow passenger went for the exit door as they flew to Dalaman in Turkey on June 22.
Amy Varol, who sat two rows behind, told The Sun Online: “The woman was walking down the aisle when she literally ran to the exit door.
“She had her hands on the handle trying to open it.
“Luckily there were two cabin crew there who pulled her off the door.”
She was punching, kicking and screaming at the stewards, they were trying to stop her but they had no chance

Ms Varol continued: “She started assaulting the two crew members, a woman and a man.
“A big guy then literally threw her down to the floor and there was one person holding one arm and another person holding the other.
“Then a man sat on her and one person was holding her leg and someone else holding the other one.
“That’s when she started screaming ‘get off me’, ‘I’m going to kill everyone’.”
And a former bouncer revealed how he tackled the woman to the ground during the hijack alert.
Steven Brown, 58, said: “She was punching, kicking and screaming at the stewards, they were trying to stop her but they had no chance.
“She was only petite but she had the strength of a fully-grown man. The only time I’ve seen anything like that was when someone had just dropped acid, she had super strength.
“It was like she was possessed.”
INVESTIGATIONS CONTINUE
In a statement, a Jet2 spokesperson said: “We are now liaising with the relevant authorities to support their investigation, and we will not hesitate to prosecute.
“For years we have been highlighting just how serious the consequences of disruptive passenger behaviour can be. These consequences include huge fines, lifetime bans and court action. They now also include the authorities having to scramble fighter jets to escort commercial aircraft, proof that this behaviour must stop now.”
Describing the passenger’s behaviour as “extremely disruptive”, they thanked crew and passengers for assisting on the flight.
Many people living near Stansted phoned police to report a loud noise they thought could be an explosion when the RAF Typhoons were scrambled to the flight.
A sonic boom is created when supersonic aircraft accelerate through the sound barrier – which is banned over land except in emergencies.
Cops confirmed Chloe was not detained under the mental health act.
