An initial investigation report on Air India plane crash was due within 30 days of the June 12 incident. Nearly a month after the deadly Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, India’s top air accident investigation body told a parliamentary panel that it has yet to submit a preliminary report on the incident.
The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) informed the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transport, Tourism, and Culture that although an initial report was due within 30 days of the June 12 incident, no report has been submitted yet.
The report by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau will provide reasons for the accident and is based on an examination of data extracted from the cockpit voice recorder and digital flight data recorder, according to people familiar with the process, who asked not to be identified, discussing confidential information.
Members of Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on Tuesday raised serious concerns over aviation safety following the Air India Flight AI-171 crash in Ahmedabad and the sudden surge in flight fares from Srinagar to other cities after the recent terror attack in Pahalgam.
