On June 12, 2025, Air India Flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, crashed shortly after taking off from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad. The aircraft, bound for London Gatwick, had 242 people on board, including 230 passengers and 12 crew members. The crash occurred approximately 30 seconds after takeoff, with the plane crashing into a residential area near BJ Medical College in the Meghaninagar neighborhood. The impact resulted in 241 fatalities, including all passengers and crew, and at least 28 people on the ground. This tragic incident has drawn sharp criticism from aviation safety experts. Speaking to The News Minute, Captain Mohan Ranganathan described the tragedy as a wake-up call for Indian aviation and pointed out that the majority of airports in India are violating norms laid down by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). In this week of Yen Endra Kelvi, Shabbir Ahmed breaks down the security lapses and violation of rules of the country's prominent airports and the blame-game of the government machinery towards the pilots.
