FIP questions AAIB's initial report on Air India crash

India Jul 17, 2025

The Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) is challenging the official report on the recent Air India Boeing 787-8 crash, which killed 260 people.
They think it's too soon to blame the pilots and say investigators should look more closely at possible technical glitches—like automatic engine shutdowns—that might have played a role.

FIP's request for thorough investigation

FIP has asked for aviation experts to get involved and review flight data and cockpit recordings for missed mechanical issues.
They're also urging a closer look at systems like the Thrust Control Malfunction Accommodation (TCMA) and Electronic Engine Controller (EEC), hoping this will lead to a fairer, more thorough investigation that considers both human error and tech problems.
