The report from the Indian Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Investigation stated that before the crash of the Air India jet on June 12, 2025, there was confusion in the cockpit. The plane, operating a flight from Ahmedabad to London, began to descend rapidly due to a loss of thrust.
After the aircraft was airborne, a loss of engine power was recorded. The cockpit recorder captured how the pilots discussed shutting off the fuel supply: one pilot asked the other why he had shut it off, to which he received the answer that he had not done so. The fuel supply switches were simultaneously switched to off, leading to a loss of thrust.
The Indian aviation authority currently has no recommendations for operators and manufacturers of Boeing 787-8 aircraft or GE GEnx-1B engines. The crash investigation is ongoing, and as a result, 275 people lost their lives. Currently, the incident involving the rescue of one individual remains unclear, but it is believed that some parts of the aircraft may remain intact after the crash.
The report on the Air India crash revealed that there was confusion in the cockpit, which led to the loss of thrust and caused the fatal accident. The investigation is ongoing, and the aviation authority currently has no specific recommendations for preventing similar situations in the future.
