Indian Pilots Test Positive For Alcohol

39 Found To Have Been Drinking Before Flight Last Year

39 pilots and co-pilots in India tested positive for alcohol in pre-flight breathalizer screening last year, according to India's Civil Aviation Authority.

"39 cases have been reported to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) from January 2009 to December 2009, where pilots or co-pilots were found to have consumed alcohol during pre-flight breath-analyzer test," said Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel said in a written statement Tuesday.

The Indian news service PTI reports that the flight crew members had been disciplined in accordance with that country's civil aviation regulations. The rules require that pilots who do not pass the breathalizer test before flight should be grounded for at least four weeks.

Employers may also impose disciplinary action in such cases. The standard in India is 12 hours between alcohol consumption and flight.
