Air India Retires Flight Number '171' Out of Respect After Ahmedabad

In the wake of the devastating crash that claimed 241 lives, Air India and its low-cost arm, Air India Express, have decided to retire the flight number '171' as a mark of respect for those who lost their lives. The ill-fated Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, operating as flight AI 171, was on its way from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick when it crashed shortly after take-off on Thursday. According to sources, retiring a flight number after a fatal accident is a common practice in the aviation industry. It's seen as a gesture of remembrance and a way to avoid causing distress to passengers and families in the future. Starting June 17, the Ahmedabad–London Gatwick route will be reassigned a new number—AI 159—instead of AI 171. The necessary updates to the booking systems were completed on Friday, sources confirmed. Air India Express, which also used the flight number IX 171 on a different route, has likewise decided to discontinue it. 'This small change is our way of honoring the lives lost and offering a measure of comfort to those grieving,' one airline source said.

Boeing Shares Tumble Following Air India Plane Crash

Shares of U.S. aerospace giant Boeing fell sharply on Thursday following the crash of an Air India aircraft shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad, India. The aircraft, identified as a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, was en route to London's Gatwick Airport when it went down near a civilian area shortly after departure. The incident has reignited safety concerns and added pressure on Boeing, which is already navigating efforts to restore public confidence and ramp up production under new CEO Kelly Orthberg. In premarket trading, Boeing shares slid 8% to $196.52. Analysts say the drop reflects renewed investor anxiety surrounding the company's safety record. The cause of the crash has not yet been determined. Boeing stated it is aware of the reports and is working to gather more details. The crash adds to a string of challenges for the aircraft manufacturer, which is striving to turn the page on several years of scrutiny over its safety standards and regulatory compliance.
