Families of the 241 victims killed in the Air India Flight AI171 disaster marked one year since the Ahmedabad crash still waiting for definitive investigative findings, relatives said Friday.
The Boeing 787 accident on June 12, 2025, remains among India’s deadliest aviation tragedies, destroying a wide-body jet shortly after takeoff in clear weather.
Bereaved relatives have petitioned regulators to release cockpit-voice and flight-data analyses that could clarify whether mechanical faults, crew actions or external factors dominated.
Air India and civil aviation authorities pledged transparency but cite international protocols that slow public disclosure while probes continue.
Memorial services across Gujarat featured readings of victims’ names, including prominent political and business figures aboard the flight.
Lawyers for several families are preparing civil claims that hinge on the final government report expected later this year.
