AAIB says too early to reach definite conclusions on AI plane crash

New Delhi, Jul 17 (PTI) The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) on Thursday said it is too early to reach any definite conclusions on the Air India plane crash as the probe is still on and the final report will come out with root causes and recommendations.

"It has come to our attention that certain sections of the international media are repeatedly attempting to draw conclusions through selective and unverified reporting. Such actions are irresponsible, especially while the investigation remains ongoing," AAIB Director General G V G Yugandhar said in a statement.

The statement comes against the backdrop of reports suggesting that pilot error led to the crash of the Air India plane that killed 260 people on June 12. The Boeing 787-8 aircraft, enroute from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick, crashed soon after take off.

"We urge both the public and the media to refrain from spreading premature narratives that risk undermining the integrity of the investigative process," he said. PTI RAM HVA
