Legal teams from the US and the UK are preparing to file lawsuits against Boeing in the two countries over the Air India crash in Ahmedabad last month, in one of the worst aviation disasters the country has seen, sources have told NDTV.
All but one of the 242 people on board the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner were killed when it crashed moments after take-off in Ahmedabad on June 12. The airline has said that the plane was "well-maintained" and that the pilots were accomplished flyers.
The teams are working with the families of the crash victims and are seeking to assert their legal rights under existing international law.
