Air India takes major steps after deadly crash
After the heartbreaking crash of Flight AI171 shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad, claiming 260 lives, Air India is taking serious action to prevent anything like this from happening again.
Airline's response to crash
India's aviation authority (DGCA) checked all similar Air India planes and didn't find any new problems. The airline also reviewed key parts like fuel switches.
In June, Air India hit "pause" on some flights so crews could run extra safety checks and speed up reliability upgrades.
Safety protocols and real-time monitoring
International flights are coming back in phases starting August 1, with everything expected to be fully up and running by October.
Air India says they're doubling down on strict safety protocols, real-time flight monitoring, and working closely with regulators—because keeping passengers safe is their top priority.
