US EditionAAIB Report Attributes Air India Crash to Fuel Supply Cutoff
NEAR AHMEDABAD, INDIA, JUL 12 – Preliminary AAIB report shows fuel cutoff switches were intentionally moved, causing engine shutdown and crash that killed 260, with no mechanical faults or sabotage found so far.
- On June 12, 2025, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner bound for London crashed soon after departing from Ahmedabad, resulting in 260 fatalities and damage to five nearby buildings.
- The crash followed the nearly simultaneous flipping of the plane's engine fuel cutoff switches from run to cutoff, which starved both engines of fuel without evidence of an emergency requiring this action.
- Cockpit voice recordings captured one pilot asking why the fuel was cut off, while the other denied moving the switches, which safety experts say cannot be accidentally toggled due to their design.
- The preliminary report confirmed the loss of thrust began three seconds after takeoff, the aircraft reached 180 knots, and the Ram Air Turbine deployed while the plane lost altitude before crashing.
- India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau leads the probe, has no immediate safety recommendations for Boeing or GE, and the incident has prompted scrutiny of Air India’s regulatory compliance and safety oversight.
