Mangaluru, Jan 18: The authorities have suspended a woman pilot pending enquiry after she was found to be an inebriated state just before the scheduled take off of a Dubai-bound SpiceJet flight at Mangaluru International Airport on Wednesday.

According to sources, the 35-year-old Turkish woman, who was supposed to fly the aircraft found to be reeking of alcohol and was made to undergo breathalyzer tests, following which she was not allowed to board the plane.

Due to the incident, nearly 180 passengers off the flight had to spend the whole night  at Airport in anxiety.

The flight was supposed to take off at 12.40 a.m. on Wednesday. All the passengers had already completed check-in formalities. However, the regular medical examination of the crew revealed that the woman pilot had no control over herself thanks to excessive consumption of alcohol.

A senior official said that as part of the airline’s duty to protect the lives of passengers, it took the preventive measure of not allowing the pilot to command the flight.

The passengers had to wait till 6 a.m. when the airline managed to arrange another pilot.

SpiceJet has been operating flights between Mangaluru and Dubai for past one year. The plane has been leased from Turkey based Corendon Airlines. Hence, all the crew members are said to be Turkish nationals.
