'Investigations of this magnitude take time': US probe agency slams media reports on Air India 171 crash; calls them 'premature and speculative'
Saturday, 19 July 2025 The NTSB criticized media coverage of the Air India Flight 171 crash preliminary report as premature and speculative. This follows the AAIB's release of its initial findings, which cited engine failure and cockpit confusion after takeoff from Ahmedabad. The AAIB urged against spreading unverified information and emphasized that the report only outlines events, not causes, pending a final, comprehensive analysis.
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...
AI171 Tragedy: Aviation expert and Wing Commander Sharath Panicker has strongly dismissed claims of pilot error in the recent Air India crash, calling the official AAIB report deeply flawed. He points out missing pilot signatures, the absence of any pilot in the investigative team, and major procedural gaps. The controversy has sparked demands for transparency and a reinvestigation, with concerns growing over potential bias and foreign media misrepresentation.

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.

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.
