The flight from Stuttgart to Lisbon was stopped shortly before take-off on Friday when an airport worker discovered that the co-pilot seemed unsteady on his feet and reeked of alcohol, police and the state prosecutor's office said.
A Portuguese airline, TAP Air Portugal, apologised after having to cancel the flight "due to the pilot's incapacity".
German authorities chose to keep the plane on the ground, though it was not immediately clear if the 40-year-old co-pilot was detained.

TAP tweeted Saturday that the passengers would only be able to fly to Lisbon on Monday, "which is, at the moment, the first day with seats available".
