Aviation Test

The recent crash of an Air India Dreamliner in Ahmedabad has not only left a trail of human tragedy but also exposed a deeper question facing India’s civil aviation ecosystem: is the country ready to independently investigate and resolve complex air disasters?

India just witnessed its worst aviation disaster in recent times. Shortly after takeoff, Air India Flight 171 crashed into the hostel block of a medical college in the Meghani Nagar neighbourhood of Ahmedabad in Gujarat on June 12.

Fatal Takeoff

The devastating crash of Air India’s London-bound flight from Ahmedabad is a grim reminder of the fragile boundaries of air safety, no matter how advanced the aircraft or how routine the journey.
