Two Cabin Crew Arrested at Manchester Airport Cleared by Custody Breath Tests

Police say any next steps rest with the airline.

Overview

  • Officers met an inbound flight at Gate 49 after on-site breath tests Saturday indicated two cabin crew were over the aviation limit.
  • Later custody testing found both within the legal limit, and police released them without charge.
  • Greater Manchester Police said any further action rests with the airline.
  • The flight captain had raised concerns and asked to attend the gate, which triggered the checks.
  • Preliminary breath tests are a rapid screen at the gate, while custody tests serve as the confirmatory result used to decide outcomes.
