Flight UA162, departing from Glasgow and bound for Newark, had to be canceled after the flight crew was removed from the plane due to a suspected drink issue.
The men, aged 61 and 45, were arrested at the scene and will appear in court in the near future.
All passengers were disembarked and re-booked into a different flight.
The pilots involved in this incident may face significant jail time if they are found guilty of being under the influence in an aircraft’s cockpit.
