Air India crash: Electrical fault, not pilot, was to blame: FIP claims

  The Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) has claimed that the fuel supply to both engines could have been automatically cut off before take-off of the Air India crash in June 2025 due to a lithium-ion battery malfunction, abnormal voltage and the electrical design of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner without any intervention from the pilots.

The pilots' body, in a technical note submitted to the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), said that the relay system may have malfunctioned due to an electrical fault. This claim challenges the initial reports that pointed to pilot error.

FIP President C.S. Randhawa said that when the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) is deployed, the engine switches can automatically go from 'RUN' to 'CUTOFF' mode due to a voltage reversal through the common electrical path. The organization, citing evidence, said that there were signs of a technical malfunction during take-off itself.

They have appealed to the government to get this theory tested by institutions like IIT Bombay or HAL and confirmed through a simulator. The accident took place on June 12, 2025, in which 260 people lost their lives, and now all attention has turned to the flaws in the aircraft's electrical system and design.
