Japan's low-cost carrier Peach Aviation received a warning from the Civil Aviation Bureau after the captain of a Jan 7 flight from Singapore to Kansai drank two cans of beer despite a pre-shift alcohol ban, and skipped an alcohol test before operating the plane.

The inappropriate behaviour of the pilot was revealed in a media statement by Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism on Feb 14.

The flight captain was found to have drunk two cans of beer - about one litre in total - between 1.30pm and 2pm on Jan 6. This was within the 12-hour window before the start of his shift, during which the airline's flight regulations prohibit crew members from consuming alcohol.
