Air India Flight 171 was a scheduled international passenger flight operated by Air India from Ahmedabad Airport, in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, to London Gatwick Airport in the United Kingdom. On 12 June 2025, at 1:39 p.m. Indian Standard Time, the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner operating the flight crashed approximately thirty seconds after takeoff into the B.J. Medical College in the Meghani Nagar neighbourhood of Ahmedabad.

The aircraft was carrying 230 passengers and 12 crew members. At least 269 people died, including 241 people on the flight and at least 24 people on the ground.[1] A single passenger survived the crash.[7] This accident is also the first fatal crash and hull loss involving the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Finally, my condolences to the families of the victims on that ill-fated flight.
