A 50-year-old New Zealand woman is facing court on Wednesday after being removed from a Sydney-bound flight for allegedly dancing in the aisle while the plane was taxiing.

The alleged incident happened in July this year on a flight from Sydney to Queenstown.

Police allege Sheree Young was intoxicated, ignored cabin crew instructions, swore at staff, and disrupted the plane as it prepared for takeoff.

The alleged antics forced the pilot to abort the flight, return to the gate, and call in Australian Federal Police (AFP) officers to remove Ms Young .

The flight later departed without further incident, and the woman returned to New Zealand the following day.
