Bereaved families push for closure as Air India Ahmedabad crash turns one year
One year after Air India AI171 crashed soon after takeoff from Ahmedabad, killing 241 aboard and 19 on the ground, relatives say they still lack final investigation conclusions and face continued obstacles in obtaining information. Families describe roadblocks from Air India and the Tata Group, with lawyers representing about 135 affected families urging accountability. Personal losses are foregrounded—mothers, spouses and children recounting grief, with demands for practical support (work permits, education, childcare) in the UK and India. Survivors and loved ones traveled to mark the anniversary hoping for some closure, while authorities are expected to publish further updates soon.
