Probe Team Submits Preliminary Report Into Air India Crash that Killed 260: Report
AHMEDABAD, INDIA, JUL 8 – Preliminary report highlights unusual movement of engine fuel control switches as key factor in crash that killed 241 on board and 19 on ground, AAIB said.
- The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau has released an initial report regarding the Air India Flight AI-171 crash in Ahmedabad on July 8, 2025, which claimed the lives of over 250 people.
- The crash occurred after the Boeing 787 began losing height shortly after takeoff, prompting investigation focused partly on engine fuel control switch movements and thrust issues.
- Investigators recovered two black boxes mid-June, downloaded data at the AAIB Lab by June 25, and included Indian Air Force, HAL, NTSB, Boeing, and GE experts in the probe.
- The AAIB Lab in Delhi decoded both Cockpit Voice Recorder and Flight Data Recorder domestically, marking a change from earlier crashes where decoding occurred largely overseas.
- Following the report, a panel of Indian lawmakers plans to review civil aviation safety with officials to address ongoing scrutiny and questions over information sharing.
