On June 12, Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed soon after taking off from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, Ahmedabad.
The aircraft plunged into a residential complex near BJ Medical College, increasing the casualties.
According to the reports, immediately after take-off, the pilot had called for ‘May Day’. However, when the Air Traffic Control tried to get in touch with the aircraft, there was no response.
This unfortunate incident has posed a very big question mark on the safety quality of the airline.
