On the first anniversary of the Air India Flight 171 crash, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) failed to release a report, missing the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) recommended 12-month deadline. The Federation of Indian Pilots requested no interim report due to controversy surrounding the accident's cause.
One year after the Air India flight AI171 crash that killed 260, the AAIB released its second interim report. The investigation into the Boeing 787-8 accident is ongoing, with technical analysis of engines and compensation disputes continuing. The preliminary report indicated engine fuel control switches moved to 'CUTOFF' shortly after takeoff.
An EasyJet flight from Manchester to Kos took off from the wrong runway intersection (J2 instead of cleared J1), significantly reducing available runway length, though it departed safely. The AAIB investigation highlights navigation errors due to complex layouts, low visibility, and cockpit assumptions.
The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) will release an interim report in July 2026 on the June 2025 Air India crash in Ahmedabad that killed 260 people, with the final report pending consultations with stakeholders including Air India, Boeing, and the NTSB.
