TEHRAN, March 25 - More than 100 passengers were left stranded at an airport in Germany when their pilot turned up drunk.
TEHRAN,Young Journalists Club (YJC) - A Portuguese airline has apologized to passengers after their flight from Stuttgart had to be cancelled at the last-minute.
Shortly before the TAP Air Portugal flight was about to takeoff to Lisbon on Friday night, an airport employee noticed the co-pilot walking unsteadily and smelling of alcohol.
He notified airport authorities, who decided to keep the plane on the ground.
It wasn’t immediately clear if the 40-year-old co-pilot was arrested.
The German news agency dpa reported Saturday that all 106 passengers were put up at hotels overnight.
TAP tweeted on Saturday that the passengers would only be able to fly to Lisbon on Monday.
‘Which is, at the moment, the first day with seats available,’ the tweet said.
