Air India Flight AI2379, operating from Phuket to Delhi on August 4, 2026, suddenly lost around 300 feet of altitude during the flight, leaving 17 people injured, including 13 passengers and 4 cabin crew members. The aircraft later landed safely in Delhi. But the incident took a new turn after the pilots underwent post-flight testing. While the breathalyser test for alcohol was reportedly negative, the captain’s initial screening for psychoactive substances was reported as “not negative.” His blood and urine samples were subsequently sent to a certified laboratory for confirmatory testing. So, what does “not negative” actually mean? Was the Air India pilot really under the influence of a banned substance? What is the difference between an initial screening and a confirmatory drug test? And is there any connection between the pilot’s test result and the aircraft’s sudden 300-foot altitude drop? #AirIndia #AirIndiaPilot #AirIndiaFlight #AI2379 #PilotDopeTest #AirIndiaNews #PhuketDelhi
