'Why just Air India?': SC rejects plea seeking safety audit after AI171 crash; asks why not other airlines?
Friday, 8 August 2025 () The Supreme Court declined to hear a PIL seeking an independent safety audit of Air India following a fatal crash on June 12 involving a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The court questioned the petition's focus solely on Air India, suggesting the petitioner approach the DGCA or Union government with broader safety concerns applicable to all airlines.

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.
