Overview
- The Boeing 787-8 bound for London crashed shortly after takeoff on June 12, 2025, killing 260 people and leaving one passenger as the sole survivor.
- A 30-day AAIB factual report showed both engine fuel-control switches moved to the 'CUTOFF' position seconds after takeoff but did not assign a cause.
- Investigators say engine teardown in the United States, damaged recorder recovery and electrical-system tests are unfinished, which is why a more detailed interim update is being issued instead of a final report.
- Bereaved families, pilot groups and the sole survivor have pressed for clearer answers and accountability while the survivor reports significant psychological and financial hardship after receiving only interim support.
- Air India and a Tata-established trust have provided interim and ex gratia payments and the airline says families face no deadline to accept final settlements, even as inquests, misidentified repatriations and civil suits continue to complicate the aftermath.
