Air India Crash Probe in Final Stage, Report Expected Within a Month: Minister Naidu

The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau report could be finished within a month as the ministry monitors family outreach and compensation.

  • Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu announced on Friday that the investigation into the Air India flight 171 crash is in its final stages and could be completed within a month.
  • On June 12, 2025, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed shortly after takeoff from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad, striking the congested Meghaninagar residential area and claiming 260 lives.
  • Fatalities included 241 on the aircraft and 19 on the ground, with impact occurring within a 3.25-acre section of a sprawling 44-acre plot housing BJ Medical College hostel buildings.
  • Addressing concerns from families who feel neglected, Naidu stated the ministry is monitoring the situation and facilitating interactions between the airline and victims' families to ensure compensation is cleared.
  • The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau is conducting the probe independently, though Naidu emphasized the report must be transparent, noting insurance premiums rose 10% despite the crash severity.
