A pilot of a prominent airline has been removed from flight duty after he failed a drug test, a senior DGCA official said on Friday.
He is the fourth pilot to fail the drug test since the procedure for examination of aviation personnel for consumption of psychoactive substances came into effect from January 31. The test is done for the flight crew and ATCs on a random basis.
So far, four pilots and one Air Traffic Controller (ATC) have tested positive for psychoactive substances.
