In a tragic turn of events, Air India flight AI171 - en route from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick - crashed on June 12, shortly after takeoff, marking one of the deadliest aviation disasters in Indian history.

An investigation is underway as to what caused an Air India airliner carrying 230 passengers and 12 crew members to crash shortly after takeoff on Thursday.

Air India faces fresh turbulence following last week’s fatal crash as additional safety inspections on its Dreamliner fleet lead to flight delays, cancellations and growing passenger anxiety.
