The pilot of the Air India's Phuket-Delhi flight that suffered altitude loss had tested positive for psychoactive substance, a preliminary report by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) said on Friday.
“The confirmation of use of psycho-active substance is a serious concern and AAIB recommends appropriate actions by DGCA on priority,” the latest report said. A detailed investigation in the matter is underway. The final report will be published in due course, it said.
