Air India Crash: Pilots’ Unions Defend Crew, Question Premature Blame

The Indian Commercial Pilots’ Association (ICPA) has strongly refuted recent suggestions of pilot error in the Air India crash, calling such insinuations “baseless and insensitive.” The union emphasized that the crew followed established emergency procedures during the incident.

Unions Criticize Media Leaks and Premature Conclusions

Pilots’ associations have also expressed concern over what they perceive as selective media leaks, hinting at pilot error even before the release of the preliminary crash report. They argue that such leaks jeopardize the integrity of the ongoing investigation and unfairly tarnish the reputations of the crew.

Pilots Followed Emergency Training, Union Insists

The ICPA firmly maintains that the pilots involved acted in accordance with their training throughout the emergency. They believe that assigning blame before a thorough and impartial investigation is complete is not only premature but also detrimental to aviation safety.
