Air India Pilot Likely Failed Dope Test After Turbulence-Hit Flight: Sources

The pilot who flew the turbulence-hit Air India aircraft from Phuket to Delhi last week has likely failed a dope test, sources told NDTV. This, however, is not a final confirmation on the matter, with another result still pending. Air India has neither confirmed nor denied the development. Sources said that the pilot-in-command tested positive for psychoactive substances during the post-flight screening in Delhi. Another test has also been conducted, the result of which is yet to be released. The Tata-owned airline said it could not comment on the findings since the test results have not been shared with them yet.
