Former Minister criticizes Singapore Airlines over crash
After the tragic crash of Air India Flight AI-171 in Ahmedabad, which claimed 270 lives, former Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel criticized Singapore Airlines for not addressing the incident.
The airline is a major shareholder and handles maintenance for Air India, making their silence feel especially pointed.
TL;DR
Efforts to identify victims are ongoing
Patel said Singapore Airlines's lack of response was "silence," raising concerns given their close ties to Air India.
Meanwhile, aviation authorities checked Air India's planes and found no major safety issues.
Efforts to identify victims are ongoing, with 163 confirmed so far.
Singapore Airlines's stock also dipped slightly after the news.
