Following the tragic Air India Boeing 787 crash in Ahmedabad on June 12, 2025, a team of Boeing experts has arrived in the city to assist in the investigation. The crash, which occurred shortly after takeoff and involved a London-bound flight, resulted in the deaths of 241 people on board and at least 29 on the ground. One passenger miraculously survived the disaster.

The contingent of experts from Boeing will work alongside India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) and other international agencies, including the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) from the U.S., and the U.K.'s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Their collective expertise will be crucial in analyzing the details of the crash and determining its cause.

The AAIB has already recovered the aircraft's black box, which contains the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and the digital flight data recorder (DFDR). The process of "milking" the data from these recorders, which involves downloading the raw data, can take a significant amount of time – up to 25 hours for the DFDR and two hours for the CVR. This data is expected to provide valuable insights into the final moments of the flight, including engine performance, control settings, and cockpit conversations.

The investigation will likely focus on several key areas, including potential engine failure, bird strike, pilot error, or technical malfunction. Aviation experts have also suggested that factors such as fuel contamination or incorrect wing flap settings could have contributed to the crash. Investigators will also examine whether the crew correctly logged information about the temperature outside and the weight of the fuel and passengers, as mistakes in this data could lead to incorrect wing flap settings.

The involvement of Boeing is particularly significant due to their expertise in the design and operation of the 787 Dreamliner. Their engineers will be able to provide valuable insights into the aircraft's systems and performance, helping investigators to identify any potential mechanical or design-related issues that may have played a role in the crash.

Meanwhile, the process of identifying the victims and returning their bodies to their families is ongoing. The majority of the bodies were charred and mutilated, requiring DNA matching for identification. Authorities are working to expedite this process, but it typically takes up to 72 hours to complete DNA matching.

The crash has had a profound impact on the community in Ahmedabad, particularly the B.J. Medical College, where the plane crashed into a hostel building. Several medical students were among those killed and injured in the disaster.

As the investigation progresses, authorities are urging the public to avoid speculation and allow the experts to conduct their work thoroughly. The findings of the investigation will be crucial in preventing similar accidents in the future and improving aviation safety standards.
