An Air India pilot is undergoing a confirmatory drug test following an incident where an Airbus A320 carrying 137 passengers and eight crew lost altitude by approximately 300 feet during a flight from Phuket to New Delhi. While the aircraft stabilized and landed safely, several passengers and crew required hospitalization. The pilot-in-command's initial drug screening indicated a need for further testing, and both pilots have been temporarily removed from duty pending the outcome of an investigation by India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau.
