✦AI Summary
Reports indicate that an Air India flight experienced a series of technical failures in its hydraulic and flight-control systems, rather than turbulence as initially claimed. The incident resulted in a sudden loss of altitude and injuries to passengers.
The Phuket–Delhi flight that experienced a “momentary loss in altitude” on August 4, injuring 17 people on board , was preceded by a cascade of failures involving the aircraft’s hydraulic and flight-control systems, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter, contradicting the airline’s initial attribution of the incident to turbulence.
