Pilot Allegedly High Before Takeoff on Air India Phuket-Delhi Flight
A Phuket-Delhi Air India flight AI-2379 experienced a sudden 300-foot altitude drop, injuring about 20 passengers and four crew. A passenger on board alleges the captain seemed visibly high before takeoff and, after the incident, warned passengers not to record anything. Reports also indicate the captain smoked marijuana and failed two dope tests. The passenger questions why an emergency landing wasn’t made and raised SOP concerns as investigators examine what happened.
