The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is set to make public its preliminary report this week on the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, which tragically killed at least 260 people on June 12. Top Bureau officials conveyed this to a Parliamentary panel on Wednesday, as reported by news agency PTI.

Sources indicated that no final report has been completed yet, with investigations continuing into one of India`s worst air disasters. AAIB officials informed the panel that the aircraft`s black box and voice recorder were found intact, and data analysis is currently underway. They also confirmed that assistance from international entities, including aircraft manufacturer Boeing, has been sought to conduct thorough and detailed investigations. 

According to PTI, the AAIB launched its investigation a day after the crash, forming a multi-disciplinary team led by its Director General GVG Yugandhar, in adherence to global standards. Sources noted this is the first time such a significant investigation is being conducted in India.
