India To Send Investigators To Washington To Review Data On June Air India Crash

India will dispatch a team of investigators to the United States next week to confer with the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) on the probe into the June crash of an Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner, Bloomberg News reported. The delegation is expected to review and share findings, including material recovered from the aircraft's cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and flight data recorder (FDR).

According to people familiar with the matter, the talks are scheduled to take place at the NTSB's headquarters in Washington, D.C. Representatives from other parties involved in the investigation, including Boeing, are also expected to attend.

Bloomberg's report was not immediately independently verified by Reuters. Boeing told Reuters it had deferred questions to India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB). The NTSB, India's civil aviation ministry and the AAIB did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Crash Details

The accident involved a Boeing 787 Dreamliner that was en route from Ahmedabad, India, to London. Shortly after takeoff in June, the aircraft experienced a loss of thrust and altitude. Of the 242 people on board, 241 were killed and one survived; an additional 19 people on the ground also died.

Reporting: Bloomberg; Reuters noted it could not immediately verify the Bloomberg account.

What Happens Next: The forthcoming meeting at the NTSB will allow investigators to compare data, clarify findings from the CVR and FDR, and coordinate with manufacturers and other agencies as the investigation proceeds.
