Virgin Atlantic Pilot Cleared On Drinking Charges

Tested Under The Legal Limit

A 42-year-old pilot for Virgin Atlantic arrested last month on suspicion of being over the legal alcohol limit will not be charged with the offense, the airline told The Associated Press on Friday.

The relief pilot was on a flight to Miami, and was arrested at Heathrow airport shortly before the flight was due to leave, as reported by ANN.

The unnamed pilot, "was under the legal alcohol limit for aviation workers as set out in the Railways and Transport Safety Act 2003 and, therefore, as no offense was committed, no charges will be brought," according to Virgin Atlantic.

"The pilot is now expected to resume his duties at the airline."
