The interim report on the June 12 Air India plane crash has found no technical or operational fault in the aircraft, its engines, or the airline&rsquo;s systems, according to CEO Campbell Wilson. The Air India Boeing 787-8, operating as flight AI171 from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick, crashed shortly after takeoff, killing 260 people, including 241 passengers.
The preliminary findings suggest that the cause of the crash was not linked to any maintenance or mechanical issue. Officials are now focusing on other possible factors, including weather conditions and external influences.
Air India has reaffirmed its full cooperation with authorities investigating the tragedy and assured ongoing support for victims&rsquo; families and rescue personnel. The airline stated that it remains committed to ensuring the highest safety standards and learning from the final report once it is released.
The June 12 disaster is among the worst aviation accidents in India&rsquo;s history and has prompted a detailed safety review across the country&rsquo;s aviation sector.
