AAIB director general GVG Yugandhar told the panel that it will upload the report within 30 days of one of the worst aviation disasters in recent decades and the first crash involving a Boeing Dreamliner.
Concerns over aviation safety dominated the proceedings of the parliamentary committee headed by Janata Dal-United MP Sanjay Kumar Jha, as over 97 representatives covering almost the entire gamut of the sector, including official agencies, airlines and other stakeholders, shared their views with parliamentarians in the day-long meeting.
Air India’s Boeing 787-8 aircraft operating flight AI 171 en route to London Gatwick had crashed into a medical hostel complex soon after take-off from Ahmedabad on June 12, killing at least 260 people, including 241 persons aboard.
The sources also said that no preliminary report has been submitted by AAIB to the civil aviation ministry.
Under the ICAO norms, AAIB can submit a preliminary report within 30 days of the accident to it.
