The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) and Airbus are set to assist in the investigation of the mid-air turbulence incident on Air India's Phuket-Delhi flight AI2379, according to sources. The A320 aircraft VT-EXO experienced a sudden loss of altitude of about 300 feet during cruise, after which the aircraft stabilized and landed safely in Delhi.
The incident, which left at least 17 people injured, is being probed under ICAO Annex 13. An Airbus spokesperson confirmed that their team of experts will be dispatched to aid the investigation. The flight carried 137 passengers, including three infants, and eight crew members. The pilot-in-command has undergone confirmatory testing for potential substance use, with results pending.
