India denies entry to UN aviation investigator in Air India crash probe, say sources
INDIA, JUN 26 – India is leading the probe into the Air India crash without UN aviation investigators despite international concerns over delays and transparency, with 270 fatalities reported.
- Earlier this week, India refused ICAO's request for observer status in the crash investigation near Ahmedabad, raising questions about probe transparency and international norms.
- India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau leads the probe without official explanation, citing sufficiency of its current team with NTSB and Boeing, diverging from past norms.
- In terms of evidence, India's civil aviation officials recovered the black boxes on June 13 and 16, with data downloaded on June 26 amid concerns over investigation delays and transparency.
- International safety experts criticize India's decision to exclude ICAO investigators, fueling debate over probe independence amid slow black box data analysis and public scrutiny.
- The final report is due within months, with potential grounding of the Boeing 787 fleet, as ICAO's rare proactive offer signals a shift from past norms.
