Alcohol rule changed at Japan Airlines

A Japan Airlines pilot was arrested in London after failing a breathalyzer test in October.


Japan Airlines has moved to update its rules on drinking alcohol after its pilots failed breathalyzer tests in a series of incidents.
It has been reported that Japan Airlines pilots have failed breathalyzer tests 19 times since August 2017, when a more sensitive breathalyzer was introduced for in-house checks.
Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shimbun Thursday cited unnamed airline officials in a report that said failed tests resulted in delays to 12 domestic flights.
    Passengers were told the delays were due to "crew health conditions," and staff made no mention of alcohol levels.
    Japan Airlines introduced new breathalyzers in August 2017.

    The latest report follows news that a Japan Airlines pilot admitted being almost 10 times over the legal alcohol limit at London Heathrow airport in October.
    Katsutoshi Jitsukawa, 42, was arrested after failing an alcohol test shortly before a flight to Tokyo. A few days earlier, fellow Japanese airline All Nippon Airways suffered delays after a pilot was taken ill after drinking.
    Eight of the 25 domestic Japanese airlines don't impose alcohol tests on pilots who are about to fly, according to a survey carried out by Asahi Shimbun, another Tokyo-based newspaper.
    In the face of growing concern about alcohol abuse among pilots, Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways held meetings with the Japanese government Friday.
    "We feel deeply responsible for causing the (Jitsukawa) incident that should never have happened," said Japan Airlines President Yuji Akasaka at a press conference after the meetings.
    The airline said in a statement that it has extended the drinking ban for pilots to 24 hours prior to flying, and some ground staff will now be subject to breathalyzer tests. Akasaka will also take a 20% pay cut as a result of the Jitsukawa incident, reports Mainichi Shimbun.

    We’ll Ensure That New Naira Notes Circulate Nationwide – Central Bank Appeals To Nigerians

    We’ll Ensure That New Naira Notes Circulate Nationwide – Central Bank Appeals To Nigeria The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, has said the report claimed to be quoting CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele as attributing the current challenge in the distribution of the newly redesigned Naira banknotes to a shortage of printing materials is false. In a statement issued on Saturday, CBN spokesman, Osita Nwasinobi, said the CBN governor did not make such statement during his presentation to the National Council of State at its meeting on Friday, February 10, 2023. Mr Nwasinobi said Emefiele only told the meeting that the NSPMC was working on printing all denominations of the Naira to meet the transaction needs of Nigerians. He said while the CBN appreciates the concerns shown by all stakeholders about the distribution of the new Naira notes, “We are alarmed at the extent to which vested interests are attempting to manipulate facts and pitch the public against the Bank.” Nwasinobi said the CBN remain...

    Award for man of the month

    V ictor Lindelof has been reflecting on a good month for him personally after claiming Manchester United's Player of the Month award for the first time. The defender came out on top in a tight battle in the November poll, conducted exclusively on the Official App. He received 44 per cent of the final vote, while David De Gea was second with 30 per cent and October’s winner Anthony Martial was a close third with 26 per cent. November proved to be a mixed month for the 24-year-old, who was in magnificent form after forging a solid partnership with Chris Smalling at the heart of the Reds defence. He was also named the Swedish Player of the Year at a special ceremony in his homeland and scored for his country in their UEFA Nations League win over Russia. However, Victor later suffered an unfortunate injury in last weekend’s goalless draw against Crystal Palace, when he played through the pain in the latter stages of the game. Jose Mourinho praised his bravery and later confirmed th...
