What happened: Dreamliner Crashes After Mayday Call
Air India Flight AI171, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner operating on the Ahmedabad–London Gatwick route, crashed shortly after takeoff from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport at around 1:39 pm on Thursday.
According to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the aircraft was under the command of Capt. Sumeet Sabharwal, with First Officer Clive Kundar. It carried 242 people onboard, including two pilots and ten cabin crew members. Eyewitnesses reported a loud explosion near Meghaninagar, followed by a massive fire, likely intensified by the aircraft’s full fuel load for the international journey.
Rescue efforts are ongoing, and no official confirmation on casualties has been provided yet. Air India has set up an emergency response centre and support teams to assist passengers’ families and will continue to provide verified updates through its official channels.
