AI 171 Crash: Should We Get More Info About What Happened In The Cockpit? | CTRL ALT Defense - EP 12

Update on : Jul 19, 2025 08:00 (IST)

What really happened in the cockpit of Air India Flight 171 before it crashed? Two reports by international news agencies, The Wall Street Journal and Reuters, suggest the captain may have cut the flow of fuel to the engines. India's official crash investigator Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has called the reports "irresponsible" but hasn't denied their contents. 

Why hasn't the cockpit voice recording been made public? Is pilot error being scapegoated or is there more to the story?

In this episode of CTRL ALT Defence, join Vishnu Som and Shiv Aroor as they break down what we know, what's missing, and why transparency is critical in the Air India 171 crash investigation.
