Liverpool Crown Court jailed Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 21, for 42 months after convicting him of assaulting two police officers and a Starbucks customer at Manchester Airport.
The case stemmed from a July 2024 incident in which Amaaz headbutted a man in an airport Starbucks, then punched PC Lydia Ward and PC Ellie Cook as they tried to arrest him.
Amaaz, from Rochdale, was found guilty earlier this year of the three assaults, with the sentence marking the latest step in the prosecution of the airport attack.
