Drunk pilot is grounded

2006-02-11 21:52

Manchester - An American Airlines pilot was arrested at Manchester Airport on Saturday on suspicion of being drunk - just before his flight was due to take off.

Airline spokesperson Tim Wagner said one of three pilots on Flight 55 to Chicago, United States, had been arrested before the flight boarded on suspicion of being intoxicated.

Greater Manchester police confirmed that a crew member, a 45-year-old man from Ohio, US, had been arrested.

He has been released on bail pending the results of tests, and is due to report to a Manchester police station on Tuesday.

The flight left about an hour late.
