NEW DELHI: Airbus is sending experts to New Delhi on Tuesday (Aug 11) to assist investigators probing an Air India flight that plunged dramatically, injuring 17 in a terrifying mid-air ordeal, the company said. The probe into the flight comes as "confirmatory" psychoactive drug test results are awaited for the chief pilot. Air India has said it "cannot comment on any findings or observations related to the investigation". The probe into the Phuket-New Delhi flight is the latest in a series of challenges for Air India, which has struggled to execute a turnaround following multiple setbacks. The biggest blow to the airline's image came in June 2025, when Air India Flight 171 - a London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner - crashed shortly after take-off from Ahmedabad, killing all but one of the 242 people on board and 19 people on the ground.
