Questions Linger Over Air India Crash
According to reports, at least 22 MPs have sought answers from Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu about the investigation on the Air India crash. The lawmakers have questioned on several aspects of the probe, including the black box, safety lapses and possible tampering.
Last week, a preliminary investigation released by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau revealed confusion in the cockpit shortly before the June 12 crash that killed 260 people, and raised fresh questions over the position of the critical engine fuel cut-off switches.

India has called out foreign media outlets for “irresponsible” reporting on the Air India flight crash following the release of the initial report, and appealed to them to wait until the investigation is complete. In a statement, the AAIB said some international media outlets were drawing premature conclusions through selective and unverified reporting.
Meanwhile, the AAIB has asked veteran pilot Captain RS Sandhu to join the ongoing probe into the Air India plane crash as a domain expert. Sandhu is Air India’s former director of operations and a designated examiner for the Boeing 787-8 fleet.
