Air India and the DGCA will face more scrutiny over crew screening after the Phuket-Delhi turbulence case, and the airline is likely to keep saying it has not received official test results until the probe advances.
This is now a safety-and-governance story, not just a one-off incident. The unresolved screening result keeps pressure on Air India and the regulator to show how crew fitness is checked and enforced.
