Passengers were delayed for nearly two hours when their allegedly drunk pilot was stopped at an airport before getting onto their flight.

The pilot, who was not arrested, was due to fly a Frontier Airlines plane from Omaha, Nebraska, to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Thursday.

But a hotel shuttle bus driver told police that he thought the pilot may have been drunk and unfit to take control of Flight 1894, due to take off at 6am.

The flight was a regional route operated by Chautauqua Airlines with 29 passengers, three crew and two pilots, reported ABC affiliate KETV.

Frontier Airlines said it is investigating claims that the pilot was impaired. The flight took off at 8am and landed in Milwaukee at 9:30am.
