   A Delta Airlines passenger accused of turning an international   
   flight into a booze-fueled fight was arrested on federal assault   
   charges.   
      
   Ires Alves Pereira was charged Wednesday with punching, kicking   
   and biting three flight attendants during a Monday flight from   
   Brazil to Kennedy Airport.   
      
   Brooklyn federal court papers claim Pereira was drinking on the   
   Delta flight and then started up with her unlucky cabinmate.   
      
   The Manhattan resident with dual American and Brazilian   
   citizenship allegedly hit her neighbor in the face before the   
   dust-up spilled into the aisle.   
      
   When flight attendants approached, Pereira attacked them —   
   leading onlookers to jump in and try to restrain the 40-year-   
   old, prosecutors said.   
      
   One man got his eyeglasses smashed up in the process.   
      
   The belligerent jetsetter was eventually secured in her seat.   
      
   The three attendants were taken to the hospital for medical   
   attention.   
      
   Pereira was released Wednesday on a $100,000 bond. Magistrate   
   Judge Roanne Mann ordered Pereira to undergo evaluation and   
   treatment for alcohol use as one of the conditions of release.   
      
   She’d been in custody ever since the flight, and was handed her   
   roll-along luggage after the arraignment.   
      
   Pereira flashed smiles at the federal agents as they returned   
   her belongings, but she put on sunglasses and left the   
   courthouse without commenting.
