Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau

The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is a government agency responsible for investigating aviation accidents and incidents in India. It aims to determine the causes of accidents and make recommendations to improve aviation safety. The AAIB plays a critical role in analyzing data, conducting site investigations, and compiling detailed reports, such as the preliminary report released following the crash of Air India flight AI 171, which highlighted issues related to fuel supply to the aircraft's engines shortly after takeoff.
