Air India crash final report delayed as investigators push safety review

On the first anniversary of Air India's AI171 crash, India's AAIB says it has made significant progress in examining evidence but the final report is still not ready; findings will be released after all investigative activities and international review, and are intended to improve aviation safety rather than assign blame. The June 2025 crash near Ahmedabad killed 250 people (241 onboard, 19 on the ground) with one survivor; ongoing analyses cover aircraft systems, data recorders, maintenance and human factors, with earlier preliminary data pointing to fuel-control switches and cockpit dialogue amid debates about pilot responsibility.

"Alaska Airlines' 737 Investigation: Concerns Over Missing Bolts Persist"

The National Transportation Safety Board's preliminary report on the Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 accident involving a detached mid exit door plug on a Boeing 737-9 MAX jet reveals that four bolts crucial for preventing the plug from moving upward were missing. The investigation suggests that the bolts may have been removed and not replaced during additional work performed on the aircraft at Boeing. The NTSB has not located the missing bolts and is examining manufacturing records to determine why the bolts were missing when the aircraft was received by Alaska Airlines. The incident led to a temporary grounding of the fleet and an FAA mandate for inspections and maintenance on all similar aircraft.
