Public outrage has surged against Air India in the wake of the devastating Boeing 787 Dreamliner crash in Ahmedabad. Families and mourners have expressed deep frustration over perceived lapses in the airline's maintenance and pilot training procedures, with many calling for a full overhaul of safety protocols and greater accountability from management.
India has constituted a high-level panel to investigate the flight crash and the inquiry committee, comprising senior officials from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), and independent aviation safety experts, will look into possible technical failures, maintenance records, and crew actions leading up to the incident.
