Air India Flight Experiences Mid-Air Turbulence Causing Altitude Drop During Monsoon
An Air India flight from Phuket to Delhi experienced brief mid-air turbulence causing a 300-foot altitude drop during cruise. The aircraft landed safely with no serious injuries, though some passengers and crew underwent medical checks. Turbulence, common during the monsoon due to atmospheric instability and storm clouds, results from irregular air movements. Experts note that modern aircraft are designed to withstand such events, and seatbelt use is crucial for passenger safety during turbulence.
