Air India crash mystery: One year on, still no answers to Ahmedabad Dreamliner disaster

Air India crash mystery: One year on, still no answers to Ahmedabad Dreamliner disaster. A final report is unlikely by today, with investigators set to release a status update instead. The Boeing 787-8, AI171, plunged 32 seconds after takeoff from Ahmedabad on June 12 last year, killing 260 people with 241 on board and 19 on the ground; only one person survived. The main obstacle remains the GE Aerospace engine inspections in the United States, delaying the comprehensive analysis. A final report is now expected within about three months, following international practice that interim updates should address progress when a full report cannot be published on schedule.
