Summary
Air India said it has not received the results of a post-flight drug screening conducted on pilots of the turbulence-hit Phuket-Delhi flight and therefore cannot comment on reports of an alleged failed test. The Federation of Indian Pilots also urged caution, saying the results remain unconfirmed. The DGCA is probing the incident.
