Air India crash: Govt sets 3-month deadline for probe team; Ram Mohan Naidu says AAIB to decode black box
Saturday, 14 June 2025 Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu announced a three-month deadline for the Air India Flight 171 crash investigation in Ahmedabad. The recovery of the black box is expected to provide crucial insights into the cause of the accident. The flight, bound for London Gatwick, crashed shortly after takeoff, resulting in numerous fatalities, with only one survivor.

An Air India incident was narrowly averted at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport on July 21, 2025, when flight AI 2744, an Airbus A320 from Kochi, veered off the runway during heavy rainfall. The Air India incident occurred at 9:27 AM, as the aircraft briefly entered a muddy area near the runway but returned to the tarmac without getting stuck. While all passengers and crew were safe, three tyres burst and possible engine damage was reported. The Air India incident prompted activation of emergency response teams, and operations have shifted to the secondary runway as minor damage was sustained on the primary strip.

Fresh controversy has erupted over the fatal Air India crash in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad last month. A Wall Street Journal report claims a cockpit recording reveals the captain cut off the aircraft’s fuel midair, moments after takeoff. The first officer, reportedly panicked, questioned the captain’s move, as per the leaked cockpit transcript. Both pilots, Captain Sumeet Sabharwal and First Officer Clive Kunder, were killed along with 240 others onboard and 19 on the ground—only one person survived. While the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau's (AIIB) preliminary report confirms both fuel switches were turned off within a second, it doesn’t state whether the action was accidental or deliberate. India’s Civil Aviation Minister urged restraint, saying no conclusions should be drawn yet. The Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) has strongly condemned the US media report, calling it speculative and harmful. Meanwhile, Air India completed checks on the Fuel Control Switches in all Boeing 787s with no issues found.

A chilling preliminary report by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) confirms that both engines of Air India’s Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner shut down seconds after takeoff from Ahmedabad on June 12, killing at least 270 people. The aircraft was airborne for just 32 seconds before slamming into buildings near BJ Medical College. Crucially, cockpit recordings capture a moment of confusion: one pilot asks, “Why did you cut off?” to which the other replies, “I didn’t.” Investigators found both fuel control switches had flipped from ‘RUN’ to ‘CUTOFF’, triggering total engine failure. The RAT deployed, signaling power loss, and the plane began a rapid descent. Despite efforts to restart, only one engine partially responded. Sabotage is ruled out, but scrutiny now falls on a 2018 FAA advisory and maintenance history. The probe will focus on whether faulty switches or human error led to one of India’s deadliest aviation disasters.
