India¡¯s aviation accident probe agency is facing renewed criticism from pilot groups ahead of the anniversary of the 2025 Air India Boeing-787 crash in Ahmedabad, which killed 260 people.

Families of the victims had expected a final report by Friday to explain the cause of the disaster ¡ª exactly a year after the Boeing 787-8 crashed in a fireball shortly after takeoff and smashed into a medical college.

But with investigations continuing, local media suggest India¡¯s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) will only issue an interim report ¡ª frustrating those awaiting clear answers about why their relatives died.
