Last month, 260 people were killed when Air India’s Flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8, crashed on its way to London Gatwick due to failed engine fuel control switches. The flight crashed on June 12 shortly after taking off, killing 241 out of the 242 people on board, along with 19 people on the ground.

Indian pilot associations have raised concerns about the probe into the AI171 crash, criticizing the suggestion that it was potentially caused by pilot error.
