AAIB 'totally unbiased', says Aviation minister on Air India crash probe
Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu on Monday said the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is following a "definitive, rule-based process" in probing Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad and is "totally unbiased". Speaking in Rajya Sabha on the first day of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, Naidu said the government wants to find out what exactly happened in the Air India plane crash, in which over 260 people were killed. The minister added that the exact cause will be known only after AAIB's final probe report is out. "AAIB was successful in decoding data from black boxes of Air India plane that crashed last month," he said. What did the AAIB report say? The AAIB's initial report into the June 12 crash of Air India Flight 171 – a Boeing 787-8 departing from Ahmedabad – revealed that both engine fuel control switches were manually moved to the 'CUTOFF' position seconds after takeoff, leading to a total loss of thrust. This happened despite no mechanical faults detected in the aircraft or engines, the report said. Cockpit voice recordings, mentioned in the report, captured one pilot asking the other why the switches had been turned off, and no technical abnormalities (fuel, weight, or avionics) were found. While engineers briefly restored one engine, it was too late to prevent the crash into a hostel building.

Rajya Sabha: Union Civil Aviation Minister speaks on media reports about Ahmedabad flight crash investigation during Question Hour
Responding to a question during Question Hour of the Rajya Sabha regarding the Ahmedabad Air India AI171 flight crash, Union Civil Aviation Minister K. Rammohan Naidu said. 'To have a definitive answer and definitive future correction measures, we have to look at the final report. I can say this House and to the people of this country, the AAIB has a very definitive, thorough, rules-based process. We have followed thoroughly, without any negligence, we have thoroughly followed all the corrective and suggestive measures from the ICAO international protocol,' he said. Also Read: Parliament Monsoon Session Day 1 LIVE updates on July 21, 2025 'They are very transparently looking into the process right now, and they are totally unbiased. The AAIB is totally unbiased and looking into the facts,' the Union Minister said. 'There can be many questions; I have seen multiple articles by not only Indian media but also western media trying to promote their own narrative, their own viewpoint, their own considerations, but I have to tell you that the way we are seeing the investigation is through the facts. We want to stand by the truth. Not what is happening with the pilots, or not what is happening with Boeing or not what is happening with Air India or any other stakeholder,' he added. 'We want to find out what exactly happened, and that is only going to come out once the final report has been placed. We have to respect the process of investigation, and once that process of investigation has happened, then we can talk about what happened and how it happened and then the corrective measures,' Mr. Naidu said. Union Minister Naidu further said that the government is not differentiating between the victims of the Ahmedabad flight crash. 'The compensation for passengers and others who were killed on the ground, or the students who were killed at the medical college near the accident site has been the same,' he added.
