A man has been jailed and faces deportation over a prolonged sex attack on a flight from Mumbai to Manchester.
Greater Manchester Police said the victim woke up to find Hardeep Singh, 36, forcing his hands into her clothes and trying to kiss her as other passengers slept.
The woman eventually managed to break free and tell cabin crew, and Singh was arrested when the flight landed.
He was jailed for 12 months at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court.
The Indian national, who admitted three counts of sexual assault, had been visiting the UK on a six-month tourist visa and was based in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear.
A police spokesperson said he will be deported to India once his sentence is served.
