Air India Dreamliner Crashes After Takeoff from Ahmedabad, 242 On Board
June 12 2025— An Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner en route to London crashed just minutes after taking off from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad on Thursday afternoon.
The aircraft, destined for London Gatwick, went down in the Meghani area — a densely populated civilian zone near the airport — triggering a massive explosion and sending thick black smoke billowing into the sky. Emergency services rushed to the scene, including multiple fire engines and ambulances, as rescue operations commenced immediately.
According to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the flight was carrying a total of 242 people: 230 passengers, 2 pilots, and 10 cabin crew members. The aircraft was commanded by Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, with First Officer Clive Kundar as co-pilot.
A source told Reuters that the passengers included 217 adults and 11 children, with 169 Indian nationals, 43
Britons, 7 Portuguese, and 1 Canadian among them.
The aircraft had been fully fueled for the long-haul international journey, which intensified the post-crash fire and explosion.
Authorities have not yet confirmed any fatalities or the condition of those on board, as rescue and response efforts continue.

WHAT IS BLACK BOX ?
Black Box is Orange in Color
The black box is an electronic recording device made of steel or titanium, also known as a flight recorder.
There are two types of black boxes – Flight Data Recorder (FDR) and Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR). Together, they form a unit roughly the size of a shoebox.
The black box records around 80 technical details every second, such as airspeed, altitude, helicopter speed, and fuel flow. It can store up to one day’s worth of data.
It also emits ultrasonic pulses so that it can be detected easily. Even underwater, it can send pulses every second for up to 30 days continuously.
To test the durability of the black box:
It is slammed into a concrete wall at a speed of 750 km/h to ensure it doesn’t break in a crash.
It is exposed to a temperature of 1,100°C for one hour to ensure it doesn't burn in a fire.
A weight of 2.25 tons is placed on it for 5 minutes to ensure it doesn't break under pressure.
It is submerged in water at a depth of 6,000 meters to ensure it remains safe in underwater crashes.
In any aircraft accident investigation, the black box plays the most crucial role. It is designed to survive even the most severe crashes without damage. Without the black box, it becomes difficult for investigators to understand the cause of the crash. It helps identify whether the cause was pilot error, technical malfunction, weather, or external attack.

AHAMDABAD FLIGHT AI-171 PLANE CRASH UPDATES
Air India said- Apart from the compensation of ₹ 1 crore, ₹ 25 lakh will be given separately to the families of those who lost their lives and those who were injured in the Ahmedabad flight AI-171 plane crash.
It is true that lives will not come back but providing some financial help is also a good deed and is commendable
Pilot last words
In the Ahmedabad plane crash case, the last message sent by the pilot of the plane, Sumit Sabharwal, to the Air Traffic Controller (ATC) has been revealed. In the 4-5 second message, Sumit is saying, 'Mayday, Mayday, Mayday... not getting thrust. Power is decreasing, the plane is not lifting. we will not survive. Death was in front of you, you can't even imagine how horrifying the scene would be
According to PTI, Air India officials said that the right engine of the plane that crashed in Ahmedabad was repaired in March. Apart from this, the left engine was also checked. It was fully checked in June 2023. The next check was to be done in December this year. The plane was fitted with GEnx engines made by GE Aerospace. There was no problem with the engines of the plane.
Air India will discontinue flight number 171
Air India and Air India Express have decided to discontinue flight number 171 after the plane crash.
According to sources, usually after a fatal plane crash, airlines stop using that flight number.
From June 17, the flight on the Ahmedabad-London Gatwick route will operate with the number AI 159 instead of AI 171. Necessary changes have been made in the booking system from Friday itself.
The plane involved in the accident was grounded for 7 months 5 years ago
The Boeing Dreamliner 787-8 (VT-ANB 36279) that was the victim of the accident was grounded for 7 months from November 17, 2019. However, the reason for this has not been revealed till date.
According to 'Sirium', a company that does in-depth research and real-time tracking for the international aviation industry, the plane was kept in storage at Mumbai airport during the grounding. Then it came back into service on 14 June 2020.
This period is much longer than the normal scheduled maintenance time. Usually the details of AOG (Aircraft On Ground) are in the public domain, but this is not the case till date.

A Saudi Arabian Boeing 747 aircraft and Kazakhastan IL-76 aircraft collided in mid-air
about 40 miles west of Delhi on 12th November, 1996. All the 312 occupants of Saudi Boeing
747 and 37 occupants of Kazakhstan IL-76 aircraft lost their lives. The Saudi Boeing 747 aircraft
was on a scheduled passenger flight from Delhi to Dahran and the Kazakhastan aircraft was
operating a non-scheduled flight from Chimkent, Kazakhastan to Delhi. After take off from
Delhi, Delhi Approach had instructed the Saudi Boeing 747 aircraft to climb and maintain FL-
140 (14,000 feet). The Kazakhastan aircraft had been instructed by Delhi Approach to descend
and maintain FL-150 (15,000 feet). Suddenly at 1840 hours the blips of the two aircraft
disappeared from the radar screen, as the two aircraft had collided. There was no casualty on
ground. The wreckage of Saudi Boeing 747 aircraft fell near village Dhani in Bhiwani District
of Haryana and that of Kazakhastan IL-76 aircraft was lying near village Birohar in Rohatak
District. Standing crops at the site of accident were damaged due to fire, impact and rescue
operations.
The worst air disaster in India and the third worst
in World aviation history took place on 12.11.96 at
about 1310 UTC (6.40PM IST) near Delhi. All 349
persons on board were killed when Kazakhstan IL-76
and Saudi Boeing-747 collided mid-air, 40 miles
west of the capital. There were 10 crew with 27
passengers on board KZ-1907 and 23 crew with 289
passengers on board SV-763. There were no
survivors.
Kazak aircraft had departed from Chimkent Airport
(Kazakhstan) at 10.25 UTC on 12.11.96 for Delhi.
It was on a non-scheduled flight supposed to carry
tourists to India. Delhi Approach had instructed
it to maintain Flight Level 150 (15000 ft).
1.3 Saudi aircraft was on a scheduled passenger flight.
It had arrived at Delhi from Jeddah (Saudi Arabia)
and was on its return flight to Dhahran (Saudi
Arabia). The aircraft departed Delhi Airport at
1303 UTC (6:33 PM IST) from Runway 28 and was
cleared via ATS Route G452. Prior to the
collision, Delhi Approach had instructed it to
maintain Flight Level 140 (14,000 ft). Suddenly,
the two radar blips disappeared from Controller's
Screen and his worst fears were soon confirmed. The
two aircraft had collided !
A USAF aircraft was on a flight from Islamabad to
Delhi via Hissar. It had started descent into
Delhi terminal area around 15 minutes prior to the
unfortunate accident. It was somewhere between FL
200 and FL 140 (estimated) and was in Visual
Meteorological Conditions (VMC) when the pilot saw
a cloud lit up with an orange glow at 2 O'clock
position from his aircraft. At first he thought it
was lightening, but when the glow persisted the
lightening was ruled out. As he descended his
aircraft near the base of the cloud he saw two
fireballs diverging away from each other which then
proceeded to hit the ground. The pilot called
Delhi Approach and communicated - " We saw
something to our right, looks like a big fireball
something--- looks like a big explosion." He
continued,"We see two fires trying to break to our
right about 44 miles to your north west" and soon
thereafter " passing through, we saw a big fireball
in the cloud and I saw fire debris; Two distinct
fires on the ground". Soon the Radar Controller at
Delhi ATC realised that a mid-air collision had
taken place.
1.5 According to the villagers who happened to witness
the collision, "there was at first an earth
shattering sound which shook the entire village.
The doors and windows of the houses were shattered
and glass panes were strewn all around. Frightened
families, believing it to be an earthquake, came
out of their houses. A huge ball of fire had
engulfed the sky and then the two planes fell off
in different directions to turn into debris and
burnt dead bodies, all scattered in an area of a
few kilometers in the fields".

1. The Collision Happened 65 km from Delhi on November 12, 1996
Saudi Arabian Airlines Flight 763 (a Boeing 747) was en route from Delhi to Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, while Kazakhstan Airlines Flight 1907 (an Ilyushin Il-76) was coming to Delhi from Chimkent, Kazakhstan. Both planes collided mid-air over Tikana village in Charkhi Dadri, approximately 65 kilometers from Delhi.
2. 312 People on the Saudi Plane, 37 on the Kazakh Plane
Saudi Arabian Airlines Flight 763 had a total of 312 passengers and crew onboard. In the cockpit were 45-year-old Captain Khalid Al-Shubaily, First Officer Nazeer Khan, and Flight Engineer Ahmed Idris.
Kazakhstan Airlines Flight 1907 was a chartered flight with 37 tourists and crew onboard. In its cockpit were 44-year-old Captain Alexander Cherepanov, First Officer Ermak Dzhanbayev, Flight Engineer Alexander Chuprov, Navigator Zhanabek Aripbayev, and Radio Operator Egor Rep.
3. Kazakh Pilot Contacted ATC for the First Time
When Kazakhstan Airlines Flight 1907 was about 74 nautical miles from Delhi Airport, flying at an altitude of 23,000 feet, it contacted Air Traffic Controller H.S. Dutta for the first time.
Dutta instructed them to descend and maintain an altitude of 15,000 feet. According to the ATC transcripts and Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) data, Saudi Arabian Airlines Flight 763 was first cleared to climb to 10,000 feet, then to 14,000 feet after takeoff. The pilots were then told to maintain 14,000 feet and proceed ahead.
4. Only One Air Corridor for Commercial Jets at That Time
At the time, Delhi Airport had only one air corridor for commercial jets; the others were reserved for military aircraft.
This meant both the Saudi and Kazakh flights were flying in the same corridor. To maintain vertical separation, ATC Dutta instructed the Kazakh aircraft to stay at 15,000 feet and the Saudi aircraft at 14,000 feet, ensuring a 1,000-foot gap. Both crews acknowledged and accepted the instructions.
5. Inquiry Led by Justice R.C. Lahoti
The Government of India appointed a Court of Inquiry led by Justice R.C. Lahoti of the Delhi High Court to investigate the accident. He was joined by Captain A.K. Verma (Director of Air Safety, Air India) and Air Commodore (Retd.) T. Pannu (Former Director of Operations, Indian Air Force).
6. Kazakh Pilots Disobeyed Instructions
The investigation confirmed that Air Traffic Controller Dutta gave correct instructions, and there were no malfunctions in the equipment or altimeters.
The mid-air collision happened because the Kazakh pilots disobeyed the instructions and descended to 14,000 feet instead of maintaining 15,000 feet.
It was also discovered during the investigation that the Kazakh aircraft hit the Saudi Boeing 747 not from above, but from below.

India has denied allowing a UN investigator to join the probe into the Ahmedabad Air India plane crash incident, sources have said. According to the details, Indian authorities refused the offer after the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) had asked for the investigator, who was in India, to be given observer status.
