AirBaltic flight refused permission to fly after BOTH PILOTS failed alcohol tests, An airBaltic flight carrying 109 people from Norway to Crete has been prevented from taking off, due to the entire crew failing alcohol tests.
Police arrived at Oslo Airport after receiving a tip-off that the crew were particularly merry. They met the four workers to administer breathalyser tests.
They found that the four crew members - including both pilots - had blood alcohol levels beyond 0.2%, making it dangerous for them to be in charge of the plane. The crew were then led into a waiting police car.
The flight was cancelled and the airline is working on re-accommodating the passengers.
Operations chief Torleif Skovereng at Romerike police force told Norwegian magazine VG at the scene, “We received a message of suspicious drinking that made us chose to undergo a control."
