Summary

India's aviation ministry awaits drug test results for an Air India captain. The captain was flying a plane which dropped suddenly midair last week. Twenty-four passengers and crew members sustained injuries during the flight. Both pilots underwent routine screening after the aircraft landed safely. An independent investigation is currently underway to determine the cause.
