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.

Flight instructor Alan Colman says it’s nearly impossible to accidentally move engine fuel switches on a Boeing 787, after a preliminary report into the deadly Air India crash found the controls had been set to "off" during take-off.

A former Boeing engineer who worked on the avionics of the Boeing 787 between 2004 and 2007 has weighed in on the tragic crash of Air India Flight AI171. Dismissing the possibility of pilot error, the expert points to a likely failure in the propulsion system — suggesting both engines may have lost power before the crash.
