Japan Airlines has introduced a ban on cabin attendants consuming alcohol before return flights. The move follows a flight delay from Hiroshima caused by a crew member who exceeded the allowed alcohol limit.
Japan Airlines announced the new policy after a female cabin attendant drank more than permitted. This led to a roughly 40-minute delay on a flight scheduled to depart from Hiroshima, affecting 186 passengers.
The carrier stated that the restriction applies specifically before return flights. No further details on the implementation timeline were provided in the announcement.
