Air India Flying Crash: The families of four passengers who lost their lives in the fatal accident Ahmedabad in June 2025 have filed a lawsuit against Planemaker Boeing and aircraft manufacturers in the US and blame society of doing “nothing”.
The lawsuit filed on Tuesday stated that defective fuel switches caused an accident and accused companies of doing “nothing”, even though they realized the risks of the aircraft design, the BBC reported.
The Court of Justice against Honeywell and Boeing comes nearly four months after the deadly Air India Flight 171, linked to London Gatwick, Boeing 787. The aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad and killed 260 people.
What does the action claim?
- The Court claims that both companies knew about the risk of accident because they were developed and placed on the market 787 Dreamliner and its components, according to the BBC report.
- It points to the 2018 FAA consulting, which urged – but did not ride – airlines to check the fuel switch blocking mechanism to ensure that it cannot be accidentally moved and interrupted by fuel supply.
- It is not before creating a form of form of deaths of Capadhabhaen Catgal, Chijadda, Kberrihai, which is 240 amenganger.
- It seems to be the first action in the US in the Air India crash.
- For Air India Flight 171, investigators found that the switch was moved from “running” to “cut off”, thus choking the engines of the pull. Families say it was a fatal design defect that allowed a random reduction of fuel – and accused society of ignoring dangers. “And what did Honeywell and Boeing do to prevent an inevitable disaster? Nothing,” says the court, according to the BBC.
After a preliminary question, the investigators became a focus on fuel switches focused on the investigators that the fuel for the engines was cut off moments after the plane left the country.
What did FAA say about switching fuel
Honeywell built fuel switches that were cleaned by the American Federal Air Management (FAA). While the regulators stated that the switches themselves did not have to be directly caused by the accident, the action claims that their design and placement have left them susceptible to accidental activation.
In July, Boeing and FAA privately issued announcements to airlines and regulators that fuel locks on Boeing aircraft were safe and not required, Reuters reported.
