Ahmedabad Air India Crash: Probe Suggests Dual Engine Failure, Preliminary Report Expected Soon

The tragic crash of Air India flight AI 171 in Ahmedabad, which resulted in 242 fatalities, is now under scrutiny with a focus on potential dual engine failure. A test flight recreation, conducted as part of the investigation, suggests that flight conditions alone did not cause the accident. The simulation, performed by Air India pilots, indicated that the final flight configuration, including the landing gear and wing flaps, did not independently lead to the crash. The investigation is exploring the possibility of technical failure, with dual engine failure being a primary focus. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau is probing the incident, and a preliminary report with initial findings is anticipated to be released soon. The Boeing 787 jet, en route to London, crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad airport on June 12.
