Pilots struggled to control Air India's Phuket-Delhi aircraft due to rare malfunction, shows Airbus’ initial assessment

An Air India A320 flying from Phuket to Delhi briefly lost hydraulic control across all three systems, causing the aircraft to plunge about 300 feet and injure 24 people. Airbus’ initial flight-recorder assessment found the pressure drop occurred within one second, briefly affecting the ailerons and elevators and leaving pilots struggling to control the aircraft.
