The captain of Air India's Phuket-Delhi flight has reportedly tested positive for a psychoactive substance after the turbulence incident.
Air India says test results have not been sharedAir India acknowledged that post-flight screening of pilots had been conducted but said it had not received the results.
A second positive test can result in a three-year suspension of the pilot's licence, while a third positive test can lead to permanent cancellation of the licence.
Any action in this case would depend on the final test results and the findings of the aviation authorities.
Until the test results are formally shared and verified, the reported positive finding remains an allegation rather than an established conclusion.
