Indian team to visit US for Al-171 data analysis

|December 07, 2025
A team from the Aircraft Accidents Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is expected to travel to the US this month with the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder information from Air India Flight 171 for detailed analysis at facilities run by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), multiple officials told HT.
The visit will be the last major step before the investigation into the June 12 crash is completed, with the final report expected before the June 2026 deadline, one of these people said, asking not to be named.
“Investigators will conduct detailed analysis at the US facilities to determine why the aircraft's fuel switches moved during takeoff,” this person said, explaining that a detailed analysis of the audio will help establish whether the fuel switches were indeed physically moved from the “run” to cutoff position.
The Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner, flying from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick, crashed immediately after takeoff on June 12, killing all but one of the passengers on board.
