  • Probe teams are examining potential engine thrust failures, flap malfunctions and delayed landing gear retraction as possible causes.
  • Precautionary inspections of all Air India Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 aircraft have been ordered after recent technical alarms forced two flights to return or deplane mid-air.
  • So far, 119 victims have been identified through DNA matching with 76 bodies handed over to families as testing delays persist.
  • Families of British victims have criticised the UK government’s on-ground support and are calling for a full crisis response team in Ahmedabad.
