Shehraz Sarwar caused mass panic when he began shouting as the Emirates Boeing 777 from Dubai hit rough skies on its descent.
The 38-year-old, of Saltley, was jailed after admitting using threatening words and behaviour.
Birmingham Crown Court heard some of the 347 passengers were left in tears after becoming frightened by his shouting during a turbulence-hit landing on February 1 this year.
Mr Alex Warren, prosecuting, said Sarwar had caused difficulties from the start of the flight, twice refusing to put his seat belt on during take-off and throwing food around the cabin.
He said: `There was terrible turbulence during the flight and some passengers were very frightened.
`The defendant started chanting Allahu Akbar over and over again and very loudly. People were getting very distressed with his behaviour.
`When the plane finally landed, he shouted `boom`.
`It left some passengers in tears while one man angrily confronted the defendant before being told to sit down by cabin staff.
`Police were then called and the defendant was arrested.`
Mr Warren said Sarwar had previous convictions for dishonesty and violence, though his last conviction was in 2006.
Mr Balbir Singh, defending, said Sarwar had been upset after attending his grandmother`s funeral in Pakistan. He added: `There was considerable turbulence.
`One of the cabin crew, with 14 years experience, said it was the worse landing she had ever experienced.
`Mr Sarwar was scared during the flight. He prayed, chanting Allahu Akbar, which translates as God is Great. When the plane landed he did shout out `boom`.
`It was a very foolish thing to do and he can`t really explain why he said it. It was the height of foolishness.
`He is very sorry for his actions and realises what distress this caused to other passengers.`
Judge Francis Laird QC told Sarwar: `Set in the context of the current political situation, chanting Allahu Akbar over and over again while on a plane had a frightening affect on some of the passengers and reduced some to tears. You misbehaved and you were arrogant onboard.
`Incidents such as these on planes are taken very seriously by the courts and due to the circumstances I have no alternative but to send you to prison for 10 weeks.`
Sarwar was also told he would be placed on licence with a 12 month supervision order when he was released.
