A pilot was removed from a plane at Gatwick Airport on Thursday after fears were raised that he was drunk.

The British Airways flight to Mauritius remained at the gate until an alternative third pilot joined the flight crew.  A spokesman for British Airways told BBC Sussex that they are taking the matter extremely seriously and apologised to their customers for the delay.  

The flight was delayed from leaving Gatwick’s South Terminal for two and a half hours.
