Air India Plane Crash Investigation: Preliminary Report Points to Potential Fuel Switch

A devastating plane crash involving an Air India flight in Ahmedabad last month claimed the lives of 274 people. Now, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has released its preliminary report, shedding light on the potential cause of this tragic event. The report indicates a possible fuel switch as a contributing factor.

Key Findings from the AAIB Report

The AAIB’s initial assessment suggests that a mix-up in the type of fuel used may have played a significant role in the crash. This critical error could have led to engine failure and the subsequent, heartbreaking loss of control.

Further Investigation Underway

While the preliminary report provides crucial insights, investigations are still ongoing to fully understand all the factors that contributed to the crash. The AAIB is meticulously examining all aspects of the flight, from maintenance records and pilot training to weather conditions and air traffic control communications. More information will be released as the investigation progresses.
