The incident didn't go well with the Air India administration, and the pilot who was flying the aircraft has been removed from duties until the completion of the investigation. Meanwhile, the plane will remain grounded in Dubai for a week and undergo extensive checks before it is allowed to fly back to Air India's engineering base in Mumbai. Flight tracking sites show the plane operated to Mumbai on December 27 with its cruising altitude below 10,000 feet, indicating an unpressurised ferry.
