One year after the crash of Air India flight AI171, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau on Friday released a second interim report on the tragedy that claimed 260 lives.
The AAIB also cautioned stakeholders, including the media and the public, against drawing premature conclusions while the investigation remains underway. It stressed that the objective of an accident investigation is to improve aviation safety through lessons learned and safety recommendations, rather than assigning blame or liability.
In a statement issued on the anniversary of the crash, the AAIB expressed its deepest condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and acknowledged the continuing grief of all those affected by the tragedy.
The London Gatwick-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed into the hostel complex of Ahmedabad's BJ Medical College shortly after taking off from Ahmedabad airport on June 12, 2025.
Of the 242 people on board, 241 were killed, along with several people on the ground, taking the death toll to 260. The accident marked the first fatal crash involving Boeing's 787 Dreamliner since the aircraft entered commercial service in 2011.
The investigation bureau said the investigation is being carried out in accordance with the Aircraft (Investigation of Accidents and Incidents) Rules, 2017, and the standards prescribed under ICAO Annex 13.
