On April 14, an Air India co-pilot traveling from Delhi to San Francisco was deported after US Customs and Border Protection found marijuana in his luggage during a routine check at San Francisco International Airport. Although reports indicate that the co-pilot had not consumed the substance, federal and international aviation laws prohibit carrying it, leading to his immediate deportation. Air India confirmed the incident, stating that it maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards legal violations and will take strict disciplinary action against the crew member. This incident is not isolated, as the airline faced scrutiny last December when an Air India captain was grounded in Vancouver for failing breathalyzer tests. The airline's commitment to safety and compliance is being questioned as it navigates these controversies involving its crew members.
