On Monday, an airline pilot was removed from a flight at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) prior to takeoff after it was discovered that his blood alcohol content was significantly above the limit for cabin crew. The unnamed 39-year-old pilot had his license taken away, and was flown back to his unidentified home country on Tuesday.

Pilots are forbidden to imbibe alcohol within ten hours of their scheduled flights.
