Air India Crash Report Out: What’s Clear and What Still Isn’t

India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau has released its preliminary report on the Air India flight that crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad on 12 June 2025, killing 241 people on board – leaving a lone survivor – and 19 more on the ground. The most shocking revelation is that both engines shut down within seconds of liftoff because the fuel control switches had moved to the off position. But what caused the switches to move remains unexplained.
