No further findings released a year after Air India twinjet came down after take-off from Ahmedabad.
Indian government authorities insist they are making good progress with the inquiry into the fatal loss of an Air India Boeing 787-8, one year after the accident at Ahmedabad.
But the civil aviation ministry has not released any further details on findings from the investigation.
The twinjet, bound for London Gatwick as flight AI171 on 12 June 2025, came down a few seconds after lifting off — apparently the result of a fuel cut-off to both GE Aerospace GEnx engines.
“Over the past year, the investigation team has undertaken an extensive and rigorous examination of all relevant technical, operational, organisational and human factors associated with the accident,” says the ministry.
“Significant progress has been made in the examination and analysis of aircraft systems, flight-recorder data, engine-related components, maintenance and operational records, and other evidence relevant to the investigation.”
The ministry states that this information is being analysed in a “comprehensive and integrated manner” — with evaluation and examination by technical specialists when required — and stresses that all findings and conclusions will be “supported by verified evidence and sound scientific analysis”.
India’s aircraft accident investigation bureau is “firmly committed” to an “independent, objective and evidence-based” probe, the ministry adds.
It has not indicated any schedule for release of a final report, simply stating that it will be published in accordance with ICAO Annex 13 procedures, following international review and consultation.
“Every aspect of the accident will be examined with the utmost care and diligence so that the findings and safety recommendations command the confidence of all stakeholders and contribute meaningfully to the continued safety of civil aviation,” the ministry adds.
