Ongoing coverage of the crash of Air India flight 171 from Skift's editorial team in India, Europe, and the United States. Get the Latest Updates Skift's coverage of the Air India crash is offered free to all readers. India's ministry of civil aviation authorities on Saturday said the government has put together a new committee to investigate the Air India Dreamliner crash in Ahmedabad, which killed 241 of the 242 people onboard. At his first press briefing since the crash, Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu said the committee has been given a three-month window to submit a report and will have its first meeting Monday. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau will continue to lead a separate technical probe. Naidu confirmed the recovery of the black box from the crash site at 5pm on Friday. This discovery is expected to play a key role in understanding what caused the aircraft to go down just a minute after takeoff. Civil Aviation Secretary Samir Kumar Sinha confirmed additional details: The Air India flight had completed its journey from Paris to Delhi to Ahmedabad without incident, he said. It took off for its final leg to London at 1:39 PM on June 12. 'After reaching at a height of 650 feet, the aircraft started to lose height. The pilot gave a Mayday call to the ATC at 1:39 PM,' Sinha said. '...there was no response. After exactly one minute, the aircraft crashed in Meghani Nagar, situated about 2 km from the airport.' India's Safety Standards Naidu made it clear that India maintains strong safety oversight mechanisms. 'We have very strict safety standards in the country,' he said. 'Many international organizations, including the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), have time and again established that we do have a very strict and robust protocol.' Still, precautionary action has already been initiated. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has ordered extended safety checks on all Boeing 787 aircraft in the Indian fleet. After the press conference, Air India said it has completed inspections on nine aircraft, with the remaining 24 to be checked 'within the timeline provided by the regulator.' An Air India spokesperson on Saturday confirmed it is cooperating fully with the checks and is inspecting each aircraft as it returns from service, before allowing it to fly again. 'These checks are being carried out on the Boeing 787 fleet as they return to India, before being cleared for their next operations,' an Air India spokesperson said. The spokesperson warned of potential delays due to the extra turnaround time, especially on long-haul routes with airport curfews. Passengers have been advised to check flight status on Air India's website. Refunds and complimentary rescheduling options are being provided to affected flyers. Support for Families, and DNA Identification Post-crash, the focus has also been on identifying victims and assisting next of kin. DNA testing is underway to match remains with family members. 'We have instructed Air India also to facilitate in the process of assisting the families of the passengers in whatever way is required,' the Minister said. Air India on Saturday said that it will be providing an interim payment of INR 2.5 million ($29,000) each to the families of the deceased and to the survivor, to help address immediate financial needs. This is in addition to the INR 10 million ($116,000) support already announced by Tata Sons. #ImportantUpdate Air India stands in solidarity with the families of the passengers who tragically lost their lives in the recent accident. Our teams on the ground are doing everything possible to extend care and support during this incredibly difficult time. As part of our… — Air India (@airindia) June 14, 2025 He also stressed that no theories around the crash will be taken at face value. 'Any information that is going around this crash, any theory that is going around this crash, everything will be analyzed,' he said. 'Whatever necessary steps are needed to be taken, we are going to ensure that, without any hesitation, we are going to improve every necessary thing... to improve the safety,' Naidu said.
