Pilot Caught with Drugs on Duty | Dover News
Description
Indonesian authorities arrested a Malaysia Airlines pilot moments after landing in Jakarta, discovering over 26 kilograms of ecstasy and meth in his luggage—while he was allegedly on duty and high. Customs flagged the suitcase during an X-ray scan, and tests confirmed drugs in his system. This isn’t his first time: he’s been caught trafficking before, including seven kilograms of meth on another flight. Facing Indonesia’s brutal drug laws—potentially carrying the death penalty—he’s now under investigation for possible links to a larger operation. Malaysia Airlines is launching its own probe, and officials are examining how airline staff baggage systems may have been exploited—a loophole also seen in a recent Australian bust.
