About the Ahmedabad plane crash The tragic plane crash in Ahmedabad took place on Thursday, June 12, when an Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, carrying 242 passengers, went down just moments after departing from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. The flight was en route to London Gatwick, where it was expected to arrive at 6:25 PM BST. Flight tracking service FlightRadar24 reported that the aircraft's signal disappeared in under a minute after takeoff. According to India's aviation authorities, the pilot had issued a mayday alert to air traffic control, but after that, no further contact could be established. The sudden loss of communication and the timing of the crash have raised serious concerns about possible technical or mechanical failures, prompting an in-depth investigation into the incident.

The two shared smiles and laughs as they waved from their carriage, joined by Prince George and Prince Louis.

Kate's outfit appears to be a thoughtful nod to Princess Diana, closely mirroring a turquoise and white Catherine Walker suit Diana wore during a 1992 visit to New Delhi, India. The subtle tribute may carry added significance in light of the recent Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad on June 12, suggesting Kate's choice was not only a gesture of remembrance for Diana but also a quiet show of solidarity with those affected by the tragedy in India, as reported by InStyle.
