The British Navy has confirmed that the investigation into the Air India crash will take more time than initially anticipated. Speaking at a press conference in London, a Navy spokesperson stated that the complexity of the wreckage recovery and the need for thorough forensic analysis were the primary reasons for the delay. The crash, which occurred off the coast of Cornwall, claimed 147 lives.
The Navy is leading the salvage operation in coordination with the Air Accidents Investigation Branch. Relatives of the victims have expressed frustration at the prolonged timeline, but officials emphasised the importance of a meticulous inquiry to determine the cause of the disaster. The flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder have been recovered and are being analysed.
No further details on the investigation’s conclusion were provided.
