A Greek man (36) is due in court today after the aircraft he was travelling on was forced to land at Shannon Airport this morning.
The man, who was brought to Shannon Garda station for questioning, will appear before a special sitting of Gort District Court in Galway later today.
The plane refuelled at Shannon and departed for Athens at 7.20 a.m.
A Delta Airlines spokeswoman said the details of any passenger convicted of air rage would be forwarded to the relevant authorities.
Shannon Airport has seen a number of planes diverted from the United States in recent years over air rage incidents as it is the first airport in Europe on the transatlantic route.
An airport spokeswoman said most air rage incidents were related to excessive consumption of alcohol.
In April, an American Airlines flight from New York to London diverted to Shannon after two US passengers attacked cabin crew and caused €20,000 damage to the plane.
The two men were fined €50,000 in court after admitting the air rage incidents and banned from flying for two years.
