Following the turbulent AI2379 flight from Phuket to Delhi on August 4, which resulted in injuries for 17 passengers and crew members, the Ministry of Civil Aviation has called upon outgoing Air India CEO Campbell Wilson for a meeting. The investigation into this incident has expanded due to potential technical issues with the aircraft, including an autopilot disconnect and hydraulic system problems. Both pilots were subjected to mandatory drug screening, and the DGCA has temporarily removed them from duty while the investigation is ongoing. The Tata Group-owned airline faces increased regulatory scrutiny due to this incident, operational disruptions, aircraft shortages, and the aftermath of last year's fatal Ahmedabad-London crash. The airline recently announced a leadership transition, with Wilson stepping down and former Ethiopian Airlines chief Tewolde Gebremariam set to take charge. The government's review will focus on safety oversight, operational reliability, and the airline's response mechanisms as investigations into AI2379 continue.
