No confirmation has come from the airlines or the government.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>The meeting comes a day after the government advanced a probe into the incident, which involved the Airbus A320 suddenly losing about 300 feet of altitude during the flight. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has classified the incident as serious and is examining the circumstances surrounding the sudden descent.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>The pilot-in-command is also under scrutiny after his psychoactive substance screening test on arrival was found to be \u201cnot negative\u201d. The sample has been sent to a designated laboratory for confirmatory testing, with the final report awaited, the aviation ministry said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>\u201cFurther action, as appropriate, will be taken based on the outcome of the investigation and confirmatory test results,\u201d the ministry said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>Under DGCA rules, a pilot whose initial screening is non-negative must be immediately removed from safety-sensitive duties until the confirmatory report is received. Both pilots of the August 4 Air India flight have been taken off flying duty pending the investigation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>The AI 2379 flight was carrying 145 people from Phuket to Delhi when it suddenly lost altitude, injuring passengers and crew. The aircraft landed safely in Delhi, but 17 people were hospitalised.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>The AAIB probe is examining both possible mechanical issues and pilot behaviour. Investigators are also expected to analyse the aircraft&#8217;s flight data and cockpit voice recorders to establish the sequence of events.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/air-india-ceo-meets-moca-dgca-amid-phuket-flight-turbulence-probe\/articleshow\/133153102.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The airline&#8217;s outgoing CEO Wilson Campbell is set to have met govt officials over the incident NEW DELHI: Air India&#8217;s outgoing CEO reportedly met government officials on Tuesday amid the ongoing row after the Delhi-Phuket flight turbulence incident.The airlines&#8217;
