The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner carrying 242 people, en route to Gatwick Airport in south London, crashed shortly after takeoff. The plane crashed into a residential area in the city of Ahmedabad in western India.
Only one passenger on the plane survived and 33 people on the ground died when the plane crashed into a dormitory of a medical school at lunchtime.
This is the world's most serious aviation disaster in a decade.
An expert revealed on June 13 that Air India and the Indian government are reviewing many aspects of the accident, including engine thrust, f wing and why landing while the plane took off was still open.
The investigation also focuses on considering whether Air India is responsible, especially regarding aircraft maintenance activities.
According to sources, the possibility of the plane colliding with a bird is not part of the main investigation.
Anti-terrorism experts are also involved in the investigation.
The Indian government is considering temporarily suspending flights of all domestic Boeing 787 aircraft during the investigation period.
Air India has more than 30 Dreamliner aircraft, including the Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 versions. There are currently no official instructions from the government regarding the suspension of flights.
In the context of the development, the Indian aviation authority has ordered Air India to take additional maintenance measures for the Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 aircraft equipped with GEnx engines, including once checking the take-off parameters before each flight starting at midnight on June 15.
The Indian Civil Aviation Authority said that investigators and rescue forces found a flight data recorder, one of two black boxes, on the roof of the building where the plane crashed.
There is currently no information about the remaining cockpit recording box and black box, which also play a very important role in investigating the cause of the accident.
Investigators from India, the UK and the US were present to investigate the accident. General Electric Electric's aircraft engine manufacturer Aerospace affirmed its support for measures to strengthen safety inspections by the Indian aviation authority for Air India's 787 fleet.
Previously, on June 13, rescue forces completed the scene of the accident and continued to search for missing people, bodies in buildings and debris from the plane that could help clarify the cause of the accident.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the scene of the accident in the state of Gujarat. He also met with a number of injured people who are being treated at the hospital.
The June 12 accident was the first serious accident of the Dreamliner since the wide-body aircraft began commercial operation in 2011.
The plane crashed in India first flew in 2013 and was handed over to Air India in January 2014. On board the Air India plane that crashed were 169 Indian citizens, 53 British citizens, 7 Portuguese citizens and 1 Canadian citizen.
