Indian investigators from the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) will meet with US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) officials and Boeing representatives in Washington DC next week, starting around December 9-10, 2025, to review ongoing investigations into the June 12 Air India Flight AI171 crash. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad due to dual engine failure initiated by the inadvertent movement of fuel control switches to “CUTOFF,” resulting in the deaths of 241 people onboard and 19 on the ground. This high-profile meeting aims to discuss and share critical findings from cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and flight data recorder (FDR) analysis, as tensions have risen over the probe’s management and the interpretation of pilot actions. Indian aviation unions have disputed foreign narratives blaming pilot error, emphasizing systemic issues instead.
