NBAA: Some Countries Testing Bizav Crews For Alcohol
The alcohol consumption testing has begun in advance of an EASA requirement that takes effect in August 2020.

Business aviation pilots and cabin crews are facing a new level of scrutiny in some countries as authorities begin testing them for alcohol consumption during ramp inspections at airports, according to NBAA. After meetings last week with EASA in Cologne, Germany, NBAA learned that officials in the Netherlands, Germany, and Japan have already begun the testing while officials in Singapore started on March 31 at Changi (SIN) and Seletar (XSP) airports.
