Two United Airlines pilots were arrested at Glasgow Airport in Scotland on Saturday morning after allegedly failing a breath test prior to boarding a flight bound for Newark, N.J..

Police Scotland said the men, aged 45 and 61, were being held under a transportation safety law that covers on the job intoxication and impairment for aviation.

Authorities say that officers were called to the airport at 7:35 a.m. and the two men were arrested prior to boarding United Airlines flight 162.

The flight was scheduled to leave Glasgow Airport at 9:00 a.m. and was canceled following the arrests.

"We regret that our flight for today from GLA to EWR, UA162, has been canceled because of crew availability," United tweeted.

Under Scottish law, the legal alcohol limit for pilots, navigators and other flight personnel subjected to breath tests is less than half the drink-drive limit for motorists on the country's roads.
