Experts Raise Alarms Over Air India 787 Crash Investigation Ahead of Preliminary Report – Episode 279

India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau plans to issue a preliminary report on the June 12, 2025, fatal crash of an Air India 787 tomorrow. Todd Curtis, Greg Feith, and John Goglia detectives have serious concerns about the credibility of this investigation and the upcoming preliminary report.

They discuss several irregularities with the investigation, including the unusual decision not to include Air India as a party to the investigation. John and Greg have learned through their networks that the Indian authorities have limited the involvement of key parties including Boeing, the NTSB, the FAA, and engine manufacturer GE.

Since the crash, no specific service bulletins, airworthiness directives, or special inspections related to the aircraft or the engines involved have been issued by the Indian authorities, Boeing, GE, or others. Little information has been released by the Indian authorities, including basic facts about who was flying the plane and details about the background of the flight crew, especially the first officer.
