Did the pilot say 'we're up'? Here's what the aviation expert highlights in the Air India crash report

In this SBS Hindi podcast, we speak to Associate Professor Aditya Paranjape from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Monash University to unpack the preliminary report on the tragic crash of Air India Flight 171. The flight went down shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad to London on 12 June. The 15-page investigation, released by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, points to a sudden cutoff of fuel to both engines as the likely cause.

The wreckage of the crashed Air India plane is being lifted by a crane from the roof of the BJ Medical College mess building, on June 14, 2025 in Ahmedabad, India. The Air India flight, which was bound for London, crashed shortly after taking off from Ahmedabad Airport. Around 260 people lost their lives in the incident.
