An Air India pilot was offloaded from a plane and arrested at Vancouver International Airport last week, with Transport Canada warning the airline that it faced loss of its flight authorizations if it did not comply with rules about alcohol consumption.
Transport Canada said in a statement that the incident took place on Dec. 23, and it would engage with Air India and Indian aviation authorities to ensure “appropriate followup actions” were taken.
