Preliminary Report Links Air India Crash to Fuel Switches and Pilot Actions
TL;DR Summary
A preliminary investigation into the Air India crash on June 12 indicates that the accident was caused by fuel supply being cut off due to the activation of fuel switches, with no faults found in Boeing aircraft design or GE engines. The crash resulted from the pilots' failure to restore engine thrust in time after the switches were moved to the cut-off position shortly after takeoff, with the investigation ongoing to determine why the switches were activated.
