In this edition of The Briefing Room, Madhavdas Gopalakrishnan and an expert panel of veteran pilots and aviation experts investigate the shocking revelations surrounding Air India Flight AI-2379 from Phuket to Delhi. After a sudden 300-foot drop in altitude injured 24 passengers and crew, investigations revealed that the pilot in command failed two consecutive dope tests, testing positive for marijuana. The panel examines critical lapses in aviation safety, questioning whether India’s current anti-doping regulations—which test only 10% of flight crews annually—are far too lenient, and whether mandatory pre-flight drug testing is urgently needed to safeguard air travellers.
