The aircraft, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, was operating as Flight AI171.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The flight departed Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMD) on Thursday with 242 passengers and crew on board. Shortly after takeoff, the aircraft issued a mayday call before crashing into a residential area, triggering a large-scale emergency response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Timeline and Location of the Crash<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Air India Flight AI171 took off from Ahmedabad (AMD) at 13:39 IST (08:09 GMT), scheduled to land at London Gatwick (LGW) by 18:25 BST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to India\u2019s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the aircraft lost contact with air traffic control less than a minute after departure. They crashed in the Meghani Nagar area, a densely populated neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The crash site included a doctor&#8217;s hostel, where multiple injuries occurred on the ground. One survivor from the building, a woman\u2019s son, reportedly jumped from the second floor during the impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aircraft gave a mayday call, but no further communication followed. Flight tracking data from FlightRadar24 recorded the last altitude at just 625 feet (190 meters). All operations at the AMD airport were suspended after the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Casualties and Survivor Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Authorities confirmed 204 fatalities as of the latest reports. Among the 242 individuals on board were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>53 British nationals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>169 Indian nationals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 Canadian national<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>7 Portuguese nationals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Tragically, most passengers and crew perished. One survivor, identified as Vishwashkumar Ramesh, a British national in seat 11A, told local media that the crash occurred &#8220;30 seconds after take-off&#8221; following a loud noise. His brother Ajay, who was also on the flight, remains unaccounted for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aircraft Profile and Technical Concerns<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The aircraft involved was a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, part of Air India\u2019s 58 Boeing aircraft fleet. This is the first fatal crash involving this model in Air India\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aviation experts suggested that a possible misconfiguration of wing flaps during takeoff might have contributed to the crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Verified footage showed the aircraft descending with landing gear down and flaps possibly retracted\u2014conditions that may lead to insufficient lift. However, experts cautioned that the video quality is too poor to confirm this definitively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Airline and Government Response<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Air India confirmed the crash on the social media platform X, stating it was cooperating with investigative authorities. CEO Campbell Wilson expressed &#8220;deep sorrow&#8221; and affirmed that the airline\u2019s current focus was on supporting the victims&#8217; families and staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tata Group, the airline\u2019s parent company, announced compensation of \u20b91 crore (approx. \u00a386,000) to the families of each deceased passenger and full medical coverage for the injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India&#8217;s Aviation Minister and the Gujarat state government have launched rapid rescue and relief efforts. Emergency services were mobilized immediately, and relief operations are being conducted on a \u201cwar footing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">International Reactions and Support<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he was \u201cstunned and saddened\u201d by the tragedy and assured continuous monitoring and aid coordination. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the incident \u201cdevastating\u201d and said his government was in contact with Indian authorities to assist British nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>King Charles III also issued a statement, expressing shock and commending the emergency responders for their efforts in such traumatic circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay tuned with us.
