The Aviation Ministry has assured a thorough investigation into the Ahmedabad plane crash, with the black box recovery being a crucial piece of evidence.

The Aviation Ministry has stated that the recovery of the black box is pivotal in investigating the cause of the Ahmedabad plane crash. All possible theories, including pilot error and mechanical failure, will be explored. The Government of India and the Aviation Ministry have emphasized their commitment to passenger safety and are taking measures to prevent future incidents. The flight, carrying 160 passengers from Mumbai to Ahmedabad, overshot the runway on Sunday night. Rescue operations have been completed, and the focus has shifted to the investigation.

The Minister assured transparency in the investigation and promised to make the findings public once the probe is completed. Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee President DK Shivakumar has demanded a thorough investigation and adequate compensation for the affected families.
