Flying can be a scary experience — there's those oxygen masks, turbulence and the potential for humans clapping after a successful landing. And if you're a nervous flyer, what happened at Glasgow Airport this week probably won't have helped.

Two Air Transat pilots were scheduled to navigate Monday's 1 PM flight from Glasgow to Toronto, carrying 250 people. But before takeoff, staff raised concerns that they weren't fit to fly the 7-hour journey. Police then arrested the men, aged 37 and 39, on suspicion of being impaired through alcohol – and they're now due to appear at Paisley Sheriff Court today.

The Canadian airline later confirmed the arrest of its employees, adding that the flight had been rescheduled and the disgruntled passengers put up in hotels.

A spokesman said: "Air Transat has learned of the arrest on July 18 of two crew members assigned to its Glasgow-Toronto flight. "We will await the results of the investigation and judicial proceedings before commenting on the matter before making any further comments. The safety of our crews and passengers is, and will remain, a top priority at Air Transat."

And the airline did say sorry to its passengers for the inconvenience caused by the whole situation. According to the BBC, anyone affected by the delay can claim $200 off their next Air Transat journey.
