The incident in which an air india Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, which departed from ahmedabad to london on june 12, crashed shortly after takeoff caused a great stir across the country. In this accident, a total of 271 people, including the remaining passengers, crew members, and those in the hospital hostel, lost their lives. air india CEO Campbell Wilson recently responded to this incident and made several key comments. Wilson, speaking at a meeting organized by air india, clarified that the Boeing plane that was involved in the accident was thoroughly inspected before the accident. He said that there were no defects in the engine and fuel switches, and no operational errors were found. He also said that the fuel switches used in the plane were changed twice, and an American inspection agency also confirmed that these switches are safe.
According to the preliminary investigation, it seems that two fuel switches were stopped simultaneously just a few seconds after the plane took off. Officials are initially assessing that this caused the fuel supply to stop and led to the crash of the plane. Officials said that a thorough investigation is underway on this issue. Airline associations and pilot unions have reacted strongly to the reports in the international media that one of the pilots committed suicide in this accident. The indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICPA) issued a statement, urging, "Please respect the dignity of the deceased. Wait for the real evidence." They said that it is unethical to make allegations against the deceased and it is painful to speculate without confirmation.
According to the preliminary report released by the AAIB on the accident, there was no sign of a bird strike on the Boeing 787 aircraft and there was no conspiracy angle. However, the Civil Aviation Ministry also suggested that it is inappropriate to make allegations against the pilots before the final report comes. The Airline Pilots Association of india (ALPA) is also exploring legal options, seeking to participate in the investigation. In order to support the families of the deceased in this tragic incident, air india has announced a compensation of Rs. 1 crore each. The company is remembering the passengers, crew, and those who died in the hostel.

In this context, the statement made by CEO Campbell Wilson has once again become a topic of discussion. He suggested that we should wait for official information without giving room for speculation until the final report is released. He said that the safety of passengers is their first priority and that there will be no compromise in the management and inspections of aircraft. This accident stands as a strong warning to the aviation sector. What are the facts? What are the errors? Until the final report is released, it cannot be determined. But there is a great need to take steps to protect the dignity of the deceased in a humane manner and ensure justice for the families of the victims.
