Briefly, Desk Driver, 2 middle aged guys joked about having drugs on themselves at check-in. The police were called, they were stripped searched, and found to be clean.
The lovely Maria called the Captain who decided to off-load one of them. When challenged by the camera guy he gave an excellent reasoning of his actions.
According to Maria, "the majority" of the Cyprus Airways Captains would have off-loaded the pax concerned. I guess this was a nice Captain as he only off-loaded one of them!
What are other airline policies regarding this kind of incident? I was surprised to see the Captain actually come all the way to the check-in area to see them!
