AAIB says Air India AI171 investigation will reach final report by October 2026; Supreme Court dispute over releasing CVR record
India’s aircraft accident investigation body (AAIB) told the Supreme Court that it expects to complete its AI171 probe and submit a final report by October 2026. The filing says a cockpit voice recorder transcript and psychological autopsy have been prepared, while the AAIB opposes public release of cockpit recordings, citing legal limits on disclosure of probe material.
