Metro.co.uk : declared in Man jailed for nine years and six months for smoking in plane toilet
John Cox opioid outside court (Picture: BPM)A man who lit a cigarette in a plane's toilet has had his jail sentence extended to nine years and six months. John Cox triggered the Monarch Airbus' fire alarm when he discarded the cigarette in the plane toilet's bin. However, the Court of Appeal has ruled the sentence was too lenient and jailed Cox, 46, for nine years and six months. Cox was detained by Egyptian authorities when the plane landed and arrested on his return to the UK. A smoke detector first went off an hour into the flight and the fire, in a different toilet, was put out by the crew.

John Cox, 46, was initially locked up for four-and-a-half years after admitting committing arson during a Monarch flight from Birmingham to Sharm el-Sheikh in 2015. In January at Birmingham Crown Court, Cox admitted an offence of arson being reckless as to whether life was endangered. Just minutes later, when the plane was 100 nautical miles north west of Egypt at 35,000 feet, the captain received another warning about a fire.
