Air India Plane Crash Pilot Who Gave Mayday Call 'Has Thousands of Hours of Experience' - Liverpool Echo

  • Air India Flight 171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, crashed shortly after departing Ahmedabad Airport on June 12, 2025, en route to London Gatwick.
  • The crash followed an engine failure reported by the experienced pilot Sumeet Sabharwal, who made a Mayday call as the aircraft lost power less than 650 feet above a residential area.
  • The plane plunged into the Meghani Nagar district, triggering a massive fireball and destruction including hitting BJ Medical College, killing nearly all onboard and several on the ground.
  • Out of 242 people onboard, including 53 British nationals, only one survived; Air India and Boeing have launched investigations supported by international aviation experts.
  • Air India suspended all outbound flights from Ahmedabad, opened a helpline at 1800 5691 444, and pledged transparency as a full investigation, expected to take months, proceeds.
