With speculation reaching a fever pitch after the preliminary probe report of the Air India Dreamliner crash in Ahmedabad was released in the early hours of Saturday, a former director general of the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has cautioned that the initial findings of aircraft crash investigations and the final findings are different in most cases.
Speaking to NDTV Profit, Group Captain Aurobindo Handa (retd), who handled over 100 such investigations himself – including the August 2020 crash of an Air India Express flight from Dubai to Kozhikode – said this probe will be very difficult for the AAIB because most of the plane has been charred, and the final report could take time.
