An Air India pilot was arrested at Vancouver International Airport on December 23 for being under the influence of alcohol before a flight to New Delhi. Canadian authorities conducted breathalyser tests, finding the pilot unfit for duty, leading to a significant flight delay. Transport Canada has engaged with Air India and India's DGCA, warning the airline about potential loss of flight authorisations if rules are not followed. Air India has suspended the pilot pending an inquiry and stated a zero-tolerance policy, assuring full cooperation with authorities.
