An Air India flight carrying 137 passengers experiences a sudden drop about 91 metres shortly after take-off, according to initial reports. The incident triggers an investigation into what caused the plunge and whether any factors related to pilot fitness played a role.
Multiple outlets describe the same core details: the flight is carrying 137 people, and the aircraft’s descent occurs soon after departure. In available reporting, investigators also examine the pilot’s drug-test results as part of assessing possible safety implications. The reports characterize the next steps as focused on determining the cause and reviewing relevant documentation and conditions around the time of the event.
While headlines emphasize different aspects—some foreground the mid-air drop and passenger count, others highlight the drug-test review—coverage converges on the idea that authorities are investigating and that further findings are pending. Authorities have not reached a confirmed cause in the information provided.
