    Air India Turbulence Response under Investigation by Directorate General of Civil Aviation

    What: Air India’s A330 en route from Delta to Shanghai
    Where: Shanghai
    When: July 5, 2012
    Who: 60 passengers, 11 crew
    Why: After 2 crew and 18 passengers were injured by turbulence, the flight crew Captain S.P. Suri and first officer Captain Rajesh Mulchandani, were suspended.

    Rather than diverting to the nearest airport, Kolkata, at the request of the injured, the pilots continued to land in Shanghai. The pilot reported only mild turbulence, and that passengers and the cabin crew were told to belt up.

    The severe turbulence which tossed around the plane was not reported. The DGCA has ordered a probe.
