Mid-air turbulence causes Air India's Phuket-Delhi flight to drop 300 feet: Why monsoon airspace is unlike any other
Air India flight AI2379 experienced a sudden drop of 300 feet due to mid-air turbulence while en route from Phuket to Delhi, landing safely in Delhi at 11:15 am. Ten passengers and four crew members were taken for medical checks, but no serious injuries were reported. The turbulence occurred in a region known for its convectively active air masses during the monsoon season, which can lead to violent jolts for unbelted passengers.
