India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is yet to decide whether flight data and cockpit voice recorders from the Air India flight that crashed last Thursday will be sent overseas for decoding and analysis.

Investigators in India are studying the black boxes of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner after recovering them from the aircraft wreckage to ascertain the cause of last week’s plane crash that left at least 270 people dead.

On the afternoon of June 12, 2025, an Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner en route to the London Gatwick Airport crashed just moments after taking off from Ahmedabad in Gujarat. Of the 242 people on board, only one survived. At least 39 others were killed on the ground when the aircraft plunged into a hostel.
