There's a very good reason why the investigation into the cause of this crash is now a multinational global enquiry with active oversight from the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority (UKCAA), FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), Transport Canada in addition to Boeing, the Indian DGCA and the AIB. And that is, this is the first ever controlled flight Air Disaster involving the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft operated now by a Privately owned Air India by the Tata's and Singapore Airlines with a 24% Shareholding in the airline.

Over the last 20 years passengers attacked and lambasted the Government of India for running a shoddy Air India with losses, Unions with an indifferent and arrogant attitude with service, quality, and standards. Shockingly though, Air India under Government ownership flew, operated without any major air incident, disaster and catastrophe in forty years, except possibly Air India being a victim of world terror (Al 182 Kanishka).
