The jailing of a Japanese pilot for being more than 10 times over the alcohol limit as he prepared to fly a passenger jet from Heathrow has hit airline bosses in their pockets.

Nissan's bosses last year returned part of their salaries in acts of contrition over illegal inspections at its factories.
