The investigation into the tragic Air India AI-171 Boeing 787 Dreamliner crash has reached a crucial stage, with authorities continuing detailed technical analysis before preparing the final findings.
The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is working on the final investigation report, with officials informing the Supreme Court that the draft report is expected after completion of remaining technical examinations.
The Supreme Court has also agreed to a request related to the handling of the final report. The Centre informed the court that the investigation report would be submitted in a sealed cover instead of being immediately made public.
The AI-171 accident involved an Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner that crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad while operating a flight to London Gatwick. The incident led to a detailed investigation involving aviation authorities and technical experts.
Meanwhile, investigators are examining multiple technical aspects of the aircraft systems. In a related development, officials said no abnormality was found in the fuel control switch of another Air India Boeing 787 aircraft that had raised safety concerns, while further examination of aircraft systems continues.
The final report is expected to provide more clarity on the circumstances behind the crash and may influence future aviation safety measures in India.
