The flight data recorder has been recovered from the wreckage of Thursday’s Air India crash in Ahmedabad, as investigations continued into the cause of the worst aviation disaster in a decade, in which more than 240 people died.
The discovery of one of the aircraft’s two black boxes “marks an important step forward in the investigation”, India’s civil aviation minister, Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu, posted on X on Friday. “This will significantly aid the inquiry into the incident.”
