Deeply shocked and saddened by the tragic crash of Air India Flight AI171 in Ahmedabad. My heartfelt prayers for the people on board. May strength and support reach all affected families in this difficult hour.
Air India flight to London with 242
passengers crashes near Ahmedabad
It is the first major crash involving
Air India since its privatisation and takeover by Tata Group in 2022
An Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner
operating flight AI171 from Ahmedabad airport to London’s Gatwick airport
crashed in a residential area shortly after take-off on Thursday afternoon,
said the aviation regulator.
The aircraft, bearing
registration VT-ANB, had 242 people on board, including two pilots and ten
cabin crew members.
“The aircraft departed from
Ahmedabad at 1.39 pm from Runway 23... It gave a Mayday call to ATC (air
traffic controller), but thereafter no response was given by the aircraft to
the calls made by ATC,” said the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
Rupani was reportedly listed as
passenger number 12 on the flight manifest. He was booked in the Z class, which
falls under the Business Class category.
“Thirty seconds after take-off, there
was a loud noise and then the plane crashed. It all happened so quickly,” said
Vishwash, who suffered “impact injuries” to his chest, eyes, and feet.
