Pilot of Air India suffers collapse during drive-up to flight departure for Bengaluru to Delhi route.
In a recent development, an Air India pilot, identified as Captain Subhanshu Shukla, experienced a collapse during either the pre-flight or in-flight phase. The exact time and location of the incident may vary depending on the report.
This incident understandably caused immediate concern among the crew and passengers due to the critical role of the pilot in flight safety. However, emergency protocols were swiftly activated, allowing co-pilots or other crew members to take over the controls, ensuring the safety of the flight and passengers.
Upon the incident, the pilot received prompt medical attention, either on board or after landing. If the incident occurred mid-air, the flight may have diverted to the nearest suitable airport for an emergency landing. Air India followed standard aviation procedures for handling medical emergencies involving flight crew.
As of now, the pilot's condition is being closely monitored, and medical teams are providing necessary care. Air India has also initiated an internal review to understand the cause of the collapse. The airline has reassured passengers and the public about their commitment to safety.
Official announcements from Air India or aviation regulatory bodies will provide more clarity once investigations are complete. In the meantime, it is advisable to check trusted news sources or the official Air India social media channels for the latest verified information.
