Two more Air India pilots have failed to clear a first drug test, sources said. The tests were ordered after the Phuket-Delhi flight incident that left several people injured. The final test results are still awaited. The two pilots have been removed from flight duties until the results arrive. Air India ordered all pilots to undergo drug tests under new safety rules. More than 300 pilots have completed the tests so far. The move came after the pilot of the Phuket-Delhi flight failed two urine tests. Marijuana was reportedly found in his system. The flight had earlier suffered a sudden 300-foot drop.
