Relatives of those who were killed in the devastating Air India crash in June have formally demanded the immediate release of the data from the aircraft’s two flight recorders, insisting that delays in doing so are severely undermining public confidence in the investigation.
On 12 June, Air India Flight 171 crashed into a medical college less than a minute after it took off from Ahmedabad in western India heading for London Gatwick, killing 241 people on board and another 19 on the ground. Only one passenger survived the crash.
