India’s aircraft accident investigating body has completed key elements of its probe into last year’s deadly Air India crash, including analysis of the cockpit voice recorder and psychological reviews, according to a court filing cited by Sowetan Live.
Investigators have prepared a transcript of the cockpit voice recorder and conducted a psychological autopsy as part of the inquiry, the filing showed. These steps mark the final phases of the investigation into the crash that killed 260 people, including 241 on board and others on the ground, with only one passenger surviving.
The final report is expected to be released in October, according to BBC World. The crash, one of the deadliest in India’s aviation history, has prompted intense scrutiny of flight operations, crew response, and air safety protocols.
The investigation has focused on technical, human, and systemic factors contributing to the accident. While no preliminary findings have been publicly disclosed, the completion of the voice recorder analysis and psychological assessment signals a critical milestone in the process.
Family members of victims and aviation safety advocates await the report’s conclusions, which could influence regulatory changes and airline safety practices across the region. The investigating body has not released a detailed timeline for public dissemination of the findings beyond the October target.
