Multiple reports say an Air India pilot is likely to have failed a drug (dope) test following a flight that was hit by turbulence. The accounts cite unnamed sources and indicate the test outcome is under consideration.
Air India is reported to be unable to comment on the findings at this stage, saying the results have not yet been shared with the airline. In the absence of formally released test documentation, outlets differ in how much they can describe the status of the investigation, but they converge on the claim that the testing is linked to the turbulence event.
The reports also frame the situation as ongoing, with the next steps dependent on the test results being provided and assessed through the relevant procedures. While one source focuses on the likely outcome, the airline’s statement centers on the lack of access to the results, limiting what can be confirmed publicly.
