In order to assist India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) in investigating the June 12 deadly crash of an Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner, a high-level team of foreign aviation investigators and Boeing personnel have traveled to Ahmedabad.

241 people died in the horrific disaster, including the crew and passengers.

According to some sources, the investigative delegation consists of representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), and the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

Their participation complies with international civil aviation standards, namely Annex 13 of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which requires cooperation with the nation where the aircraft was manufactured and with victims who have a substantial representation.

53 British citizens, seven Portuguese, one Canadian, and 181 Indian citizens—12 of them were crew members—were among the dead. On the day of the incident, the AAIB sent a five-person “Go Team” headed by the Director General to begin a formal investigation.

Top officials from the Airports Authority of India (AAI), the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), and the Civil Aviation Ministry eventually supported this, as did forensic analysts and medical specialists.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) and other central authorities are also supporting the investigation.

The recovery of the Flight Data Recorder (FDR), also referred to as a “black box,” on June 13 marked a significant milestone. It is anticipated that the data would provide important new information on the last few minutes of the aircraft. Also recovered is the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR), which records sound from within the flight deck. As per international protocol, Boeing is deferring to the AAIB while communicating with Indian authorities.

Experts from GE Aerospace, the aircraft’s engine supplier, who canceled other commitments to focus on the probe in India, will join the US-based company.

P.K. Mishra, the principal secretary to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, visited the crash scene and the Civil Hospital on Sunday, where the bodies of the victims are being identified. Later, after evaluating relief efforts and restating the Center’s commitment to helping the affected families, he presided over a high-level meeting with state and federal leaders.

He was accompanied by Mangesh Ghildiyal and Tarun Kapoor, both PMO staffers. Amid requests for a comprehensive probe into the causes of the fatal disaster and increased public scrutiny of Boeing, the investigation proceeded.
