MILAN (Reuters) - Italian police questioned a British pilot who held 148 passengers aboard his plane for 40 minutes after landing in Milan because no one would admit to being the person who broke the strict no-smoking rules. Sue Harrison, a spokeswoman for Go, the new low-cost carrier that is part of British Airways Plc, said the incident occurred on Sunday afternoon after a flight from Stansted to Milan‘s Malpensa airport. Go made its maiden flight in May. She said one passenger had blocked the smoke detector in an aircraft toilet and had smoked a cigarette in violation of Go‘s no-smoking rules and strict safety standards. On arrival, captain Bryan Bliss, a 57-year-old pilot with 28 years experience, asked the culprit to own up. No one came forward and after 40 minutes, Bliss finally let them go. He was then detained by police at the airport for holding passengers against their will, Harrison said. „He was not arrested. He was detained. He helped answer their questions,“ she said.
