An American Airlines pilot has been arrested at Britain's Manchester Airport on suspicion of being drunk.
Police "received a report that an airline pilot may have been under the influence of alcohol" at the airport in northwest England.
Officers arrested a 62-year-old man just before 11 a.m. on suspicion of performing an aviation function while over the prescribed alcohol limit.
American Airlines confirmed that a member of its aircrew was detained at the airport. It said the flight, AA735 to Philadelphia, was canceled and passengers rebooked on other flights.
The airline "safety is our highest priority," and that it is "fully cooperating with local law enforcement" over the incident.
