On the 25th of June, India rejected the United Nations’ offer to assist in investigating the 787 crash. In addition to this, there have been several criticisms by the safety experts about the delays in the analysis of the black box data.

ICAO offers assistance

Air India’s London-bound 787 crashed on 12th June, killing 241 passengers. The aeroplane crashed into a medical college’s hostel, causing destruction. According to Reuters, the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) proposed to provide one of its investigators to the ongoing Indian investigation following the crash. While this investigator was to be given observer status, India has rejected the offer.

Notably, ICAO investigators have assisted multiple investigations in the past, including the Malaysian Airlines 777, which was shot down in Ukraine in 2014, and Ukraine International Airlines 737, which was also shot down shortly after take-off; both incidents had no survivors.

The Ongoing Investigation: What has been recovered so far?

The 787 crash is being investigated by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB). On Thursday 26th June, the civil aviation ministry of India stated that the flight recorder data was downloaded two weeks after the crash.

Meanwhile, the front recorder was accessed by the AAIB and the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, Reuters reported.

Earlier, safety experts had raised questions regarding the lack of information about the ongoing investigation.
