Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu stated that the government is looking into a proposal to make yearly random drug testing mandatory for every pilot. The move follows an incident where an Air India pilot, operating a flight from Phuket to Delhi that experienced a 300-foot altitude drop, tested positive for marijuana. Currently, regulations only mandate that 10% of the total pilot workforce undergo random drug screenings each year.
