Air India Pilot Faces Action After Altitude Drop Injures 20

A big airplane called an Air India flight was flying from Phuket to New Delhi when it suddenly dropped very quickly in the sky.

Because of that scary drop, more than 20 people on the plane got hurt.

Some people think the pilot may have taken a drug called marijuana before flying, and that this made him unable to do his job properly.

Other reports say he could not even walk properly while on duty.

Now, the pilot could be punished by the aviation safety office and might even face a court case if the accusations are true.

The Indian government called the head of Air India to ask what the airline is going to do about it.

This problem is not new, because many pilots around the world have been found with drugs in their bodies.

In India, only 10 out of every 100 pilots are tested for drugs each year, which is much fewer than in America.

Everyone agrees that keeping passengers safe is the most important thing.
