Air India Initially Blamed Turbulence for Phuket Flight's 300-Foot Drop, Documents Show

An Air India flight experienced a sudden drop of 300 feet during a flight to or from Phuket, raising serious safety concerns. In its initial statement, the airline attributed the incident to 'brief in-flight turbulence.' However, approximately five hours later, Air India issued a second statement that omitted the word 'turbulence' entirely. The revised statement also appeared to minimize the severity of the incident. Documents reviewed by NDTV suggest a possible discrepancy in how the airline communicated the event to the public.
