Air India Crash Report Raises More Questions, CEO Says in Memo

India’s initial findings into the crash of an Air India aircraft last month raise more questions, according to the airline’s Chief Executive Officer, who defended the fitness of the cockpit crew and the company’s track record of inspecting its fleet.

A preliminary report filed by the country’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau last week showed that two fuel switches in the cockpit that were moved to a cut-off position caused the Boeing Co. 787 to crash 32 seconds after takeoff from Ahmedabad on June 12.
