The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), which is probing the crash of the Air India Flight AI-171 in Ahmedabad on June 12, 2025, has said the investigation remains underway and no final conclusions have been reached.
In a statement on Thursday (February 12, 2026), the AAIB categorically dismissed reports suggesting that the inquiry has been finalised, terming them “incorrect and speculative”.
“The investigation is still in progress. No final conclusions have been reached,” the agency said in response to a report in Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera which claimed Indian investigators may conclude in their final report that the crash was caused by one of the pilots shutting off the engines by moving the fuel control switches.
