Canada asks Air India to investigate pilot’s removal from plane after breathalyzer tests

January 2, 2026

Canada’s transport regulator has asked Air India to investigate an incident of a pilot who was removed ‍from a ​plane before it was due to take off and found to be under the influence of alcohol, a person familiar with the matter said.

Two breathalyzer tests conducted by Canadian police at Vancouver International Airport showed the pilot was unfit for duty, the person said on Friday. The incident was labelled as a “serious matter” by Transport Canada in a letter ⁠to Air India and authorities are likely to pursue enforcement action, the person added.
