Air India’s Delhi-Phuket flight comes under scrutiny after the pilot-in-command reportedly tests positive for marijuana in a confirmatory drug test. The development follows a sudden 300-foot altitude drop on August 4 that briefly put the Airbus A320neo into a negative-G situation, leaving passengers and cabin crew injured. Both pilots have been removed from the flying roster pending investigation. Reports have also raised questions about the captain’s cockpit behaviour, though the allegations have not been publicly confirmed by Air India.
