“Thrust that didn’t reach … falling … Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!” There were the last words from the cockpit Air India Flight 171, shortly before the aircraft crashed near the international airport Sardar VallaBhbhai patel in Ahmedabad on Thursday, June 12, 2025, according to The Times of India, quoting Ahmedabad police, which remembered the pilot challenge.
The call was accepted in air traffic control (ATC) just a second before all the communication stopped. High -ranking officials said the current was close to the completion of the 3.5 km runway of the airport, which usually requires 2.5 km to 3 km for a broadband aircraft.
“The longer runway suggests that the aircraft does not have sufficient take -off,” said the report a person who is aware of the development. “The facts can only be found after the black cabinet is decoded,” he added.
No warnings
The report stated that no warnings were previously raised. “There were no requests for changes in the pathway, tension adjustment or valve reconfiguration. The weather was stable, the visibility was clear. The temperature was high, but within the operating limits,” he quoted the person who is aware of the development.
According to the CCTV shots at the airport, a widespread take -off was observed while no visual or radar anomalies were seen. ATC or ground staff watched any engine problems or inconsistency on the playground. All communication and safety protocols were followed.
Officials are currently waiting for flight data recorders and cockpit to determine what led to a tragic accident.
