**Air India Pilots Grounded After Near Miss; Parliamentary Panel to Review Aviation Safety**

**New Delhi, India** – Air India has taken two pilots off duty after a flight from Delhi to Vienna experienced a sudden loss of altitude shortly after takeoff on June 14th. The Boeing 777, which departed from Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, reportedly dropped 900 feet mid-air. The airline reported the incident to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and is conducting an investigation. The flight landed safely in Vienna after a 9-hour and 8-minute journey.

“Upon receipt of the pilot’s report, the matter was disclosed to DGCA in accordance with regulations. Subsequently, upon receipt of data from the aircraft’s recorders, further investigation was initiated. The pilots have been off-rostered pending the outcome of the investigation,” said an Air India spokesperson.

This incident comes just two days after the tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad on June 12th, where a London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed shortly after takeoff, killing 241 of the 242 people on board and several on the ground. The black boxes of the plane – the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and flight data recorder (FDR) have been recovered, and a preliminary probe report is expected to be released by July 11.

In light of these recent events, a parliamentary panel led by JDU MP Sanjay Jha will convene on June 23rd to review air crashes and manpower gaps in the aviation sector. The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transport will prioritize aviation safety, also taking into account the recent helicopter accident in Uttarakhand.
