Overview
- On June 12, 2025, Boeing 787‑8 Flight AI‑171 crashed after takeoff from Ahmedabad, killing 260 people and leaving one survivor.
- The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau issued an interim statement on the first anniversary saying the final report will be published only after all investigative work and international review are complete.
- Investigators have confirmed that both engine fuel‑control switches moved from RUN to CUTOFF seconds after takeoff, but they have not determined whether that movement was manual, mechanical, electrical, or software related.
- The AAIB says the delay is driven by specialist testing of the GEnx engines in the United States and analysis of engine management unit (EMU/FADEC) memory in Europe, which can help show whether a cutoff came from a physical switch movement or an electrical/automation signal.
- Victims’ families and their lawyers are pressing for release of flight data and cockpit recordings and have filed suits abroad while the Federation of Indian Pilots calls for a judicial probe and warns against partial disclosures that could mislead the public.
