Air India flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 carrying 242 people, crashed after taking off from Ahmedabad on its way to London.

Air India has cancelled six international flights, all Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners, on Tuesday as the airline initiates major scrutiny of its Boeing aircraft following the fatal crash of flight AI171 on June 12, 2025, in Ahmedabad.

The black boxes will provide cockpit conversations and data related to the plane’s engine and control settings to investigators and help them in determining the cause of the crash.

Multiple Indian agencies, including the National Security Guard (NSG), National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), Indian Air Force, forensic teams, fire and rescue services are inspecting the wreckage of the London-bound Air India jet, which crashed into the rooftop of a doctors’ hostel in Ahmedabad. The area remains fully cordoned off.
