Air India AI171 crash inquiry details

A year after the Air India Flight 171 crash in Ahmedabad, investigators have yet to determine the exact cause of the accident, which resulted in 260 fatalities. The crash occurred shortly after take-off, with preliminary findings indicating that fuel-control switches moved to "cut-off," causing total engine power loss within 30 seconds. Despite ongoing analysis of flight data, aircraft systems, and maintenance records, the investigation remains unresolved, with questions about whether the event was caused by mechanical failure, human action, or electronic faults. The delayed final report continues to face scrutiny amid differing interpretations and concerns over potential technical or deliberate causes.
