Air India plane crash probe to stay within India, confirms no foreign help needed: Centre

The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) Lab in Delhi right now is working intensively to examine data retrieved from the black boxes of Air India Flight AI-171, which crashed in Ahmedabad earlier this month. The Cental government said the entire probe will be done within India and said no foreign help is needed.

According to the Ministry of Civil Aviation, the Crash



Protection Module (CPM) from the front black box was safely retrieved, and on June 25, 2025, the memory module was successfully accessed and its data downloaded at the AAIB Lab.

Sources familiar with the process told news agency ANI that an identical black box, referred to as a "golden chassis," was used to confirm whether data could be accurately recovered from the black boxes.
