An Air India flight experienced a sudden 300‑foot drop in altitude due to an air‑pressure problem, forcing the crew to conduct an emergency landing.
During a scheduled flight, the aircraft lost about 300 feet of altitude abruptly, a drop that was detected by the cabin crew and the cockpit.
The crew immediately initiated an emergency descent and landed the plane safely at the nearest airport.
