Air India defrosters two pilots over Delhi-Sydney flight turbulence

Air India has removed two pilots from duty after one of its flights between Delhi and Sydney was involved in an incident involving significant turbulence earlier this month, which resulted in at least seven passengers suffering from mild sprains. They have been removed from all duties involving flying until the results of the internal investigations have been determined.

On May 16, the B787-800 aircraft operated by VT-ANY experienced severe turbulence in the middle of the sky after taking off from the nation’s capital and flying flight AI-302. There were perhaps in the neighbourhood of 224 people on board the aircraft. The pilots who were working on flight AI 302 from Delhi to Sydney on May 16, 2023, have been grounded until the results of the internal inquiry are known.

In answer to a question from PTI on Thursday, Air India said, “As per the findings of the preliminary inquiry, all of the SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) laid down for such events were adhered to in this case.” On May 17, the aircraft made a successful landing in Sydney.

Earlier in the day, sources inside the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said that the aviation authority has suggested that the pilots who were in charge of the Delhi-Sydney aircraft be grounded for the purpose of receiving remedial training. According to the reports, the crew of the aeroplane did not adhere to certain constraints while the flight was in progress.

On May 17, a senior DGCA official said that passengers did not need to be hospitalised as a result of the turbulence that they experienced. Seven passengers on this trip reported experiencing mild sprains while in flight. Using an onboard first aid kit, the cabin crew administered first aid with the help of a doctor and a nurse who were travelling as passengers, as the official had previously said.
