The aircraft was due to fly from Newquay to London Gatwick yesterday morning.
The flight was cancelled causing passengers delays and in some cases missed connections.
A concerned crew member alerted the police, who removed the 48 year old from the plane and breath-tested him.
The man, from Crediton, has been released on police bail.
