A preliminary finding into last month’s Air India plane crash has suggested the aircraft’s fuel control switches were turned off, causing a loss of engine thrust shortly after takeoff.

The London-bound plane had barely left the runway at Ahmedabad airport before it careened back to earth. Everyone on board was killed, except for one passenger.

Air India responds to AAIB's preliminary report on AI171 crash in Ahmedabad; Boeing expresses condolences and pledges full support.
