The Richmond RCMP says it arrested an airline pilot at Vancouver International Airport on Dec. 23.

The arrest came after a “report of concern involving a crew member preparing to report for duty,” Mounties said.

Police say the flight was delayed for several hours as a result, but it left later that afternoon with no further issues.
