The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau’s (AAIB) preliminary report on the fatal Ahmedabad air crash involving Air India flight AI171 found no mechanical or maintenance issues with the aircraft or engines, Air India managing director and CEO Campbell Wilson wrote to employees in an email to the airline's employees.

After India’s crash probe revealed that both fuel switches on the Boeing 787 flipped to “cutoff” shortly after takeoff, raising questions about equipment failure, US FAA and Boeing have assured that the aircraft’s fuel switch locking system is safe and doesn’t require regulatory action.
