More info after a court appearance yesterday, again from the BBC
An air stewardess has appeared in court charged with drinking alcohol before working on a plane.
******** ********, 24, is alleged to have been working on a BMI Airbus A320 while over the drink-drive limit when she was arrested.
The aircraft was due to leave Aberdeen at 0900 BST on Sunday and was bound for Faro in Portugal's Algarve region.
Ms *******, from Liss, Hampshire, made no plea and the case was continued at Aberdeen Sheriff Court.
The 24-year-old was charged with performing an aviation function with 57 microgrammes of alcohol per 100ml in her system, contrary to the Railways and Transport Safety Act 2003 Section 93 (1).
The drink-drive limit is 35 microgrammes per 100ml of breath.
The flight eventually took off just after 1530 BST on Sunday.
Her solicitor Mike Munro told the court he needed more time to look into the act under which she was charged because he had never dealt with such a case before.
The case was continued until later in August.
