A preliminary report on the AI2379 turbulence incident is expected within a week.

The flight from Phuket to Delhi reportedly dropped 300 feet, and 24 people were injured.

Initial statements blamed turbulence, but sources and fault logs suggest hydraulic system pressure loss caused temporary control surface issues.

Additional claims mention warning messages and an autopilot disconnect.

More context

One report also says the pilot slept during the flight, but that remains an allegation.

Another headline says the centre plans random dope tests for pilots once a year after the incident.
