French aircraft accident probe agency BEA and Airbus will be sending their teams to assist AAIB in its investigation into the mid-air turbulence incident involving Air India’s Phuket-Delhi flight that left at least 17 people injured last week, according to sources.<\/p>\n
Sources said the teams would be arriving in the national capital on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
On August 4, the Phuket-Delhi flight AI2379 operated with A320 aircraft VT-EXO experienced a sudden loss of altitude of approximately 300 feet during cruise, after which the aircraft stabilised and subsequently landed safely in the national capital.<\/p>\n
The incident is being probed by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) as per Annexure 13 of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).<\/p>\n
An Airbus spokesperson on Monday said its team of specialists is being dispatched to assist with the investigation.<\/p>\n
“In accordance with ICAO Annex 13, Airbus is providing technical assistance to the relevant investigating authorities. We are actively supporting the airline and will provide further information as it becomes available. A team of specialists is being dispatched to assist with the investigation,” the Airbus spokesperson said in a statement.<\/p>\n
On August 9, the civil aviation ministry said that in the AI2379 flight incident, injuries were reported to a few passengers and cabin crew members on board. There were 137 passengers, including three infants, and eight crew members on board.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the flight’s pilot-in-command has undergone confirmatory testing after an initial psychoactive substance screening indicated that the result requires further analysis, the ministry had said.<\/p>\n
The result of the confirmatory testing is awaited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"French aircraft accident probe agency BEA and Airbus will be sending their teams to assist AAIB in its…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36823,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[60],"tags":[23930,23931,23932,23933,23934,23935,90,23936,23937,12617,23938],"class_list":["post-36822","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-airbus","tag-a320incident","tag-aaibinvestigation","tag-airbusassistance","tag-midairturbulence","tag-passengersafety","tag-phukettodelhi","tag-airbus","tag-airindia","tag-aviationaccident","tag-bea","tag-flightsafety"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36822"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36822\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
