India's aviation accident probe agency faces criticism for delays in releasing findings on the 2025 Air India Boeing 787 crash that killed 260 people, one year after the disaster.

What happened: A Boeing 787-8 operated by Air India crashed in Ahmedabad in 2025 shortly after takeoff, killing 260 people. The aircraft went down in a fireball and struck a medical college. Families expected India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) to release a final report one year later, but local media indicate only an interim report will be issued as investigations continue.

Why it matters: The delay has frustrated victims' families and pilot groups who are seeking clear answers about the cause of the crash. The anniversary timing of the expected report release underscores the prolonged uncertainty surrounding the disaster and the public's demand for accountability and explanation.

What to watch: The AAIB's interim report, which is expected instead of a final report, and whether it provides substantive answers to the families and aviation community about what caused the crash.
