Delta Air Lines flight DL209 from Edinburgh, United Kingdom and New York JFK, United States on 16 June was cancelled when the aircraft, a Boeing 767-300 (registered N196DN), was already boarded.
Scotland police arrested a 61-year-old pilot stating that the arrest was made in connection with the Railways and Transport Safety Act 2003 covering specific alcohol-consumption rules for airline pilots and flight attendants.
A Delta Air Lines spokesman confirmed that one of its crew members was taken into custody: “Delta is assisting the authorities with their ongoing enquiries. Delta’s EDI-JFK flight has been cancelled and customers are being re-accommodated. We apologize for any inconvenience towards our passengers.”
Today, the 61-year-old will appear in Edinburgh Sheriff Court.
