Just two days after the fatal crash of Air India Flight AI 171 on 12 June, another serious safety incident has raised further concerns about the airline's operational standards.
On 14 June, Air India Flight AI 187 from Delhi to Vienna experienced a sudden 900-foot loss of altitude shortly after take-off, triggering onboard stall warnings and ground proximity alerts. Both pilots have now been suspended pending the outcome of a formal investigation by Indian aviation authorities.
