As the nation mourns the loss of 241 lives in the catastrophic crash of Air India Flight AI171 on June 12, 2025, the airline has pledged significant financial support for the affected families.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner, en route from Ahmedabad to London, crashed shortly after takeoff, claiming the lives of 241 passengers and crew, with only one survivor, British national Vishwashkumar Ramesh. Now, Air India and its parent company, Tata Sons, have stepped forward with compensation packages.

In a statement posted on X on June 14, 2025, Air India announced an interim payment of ₹25 lakh (approximately £21,000) to the families of the deceased and the sole survivor to address immediate financial needs. This comes in addition to the ₹1 crore (approximately £85,000) per victim already pledged by Tata Sons, bringing the total interim compensation to ₹1.25 crore per family. The airline expressed deep sorrow, stating, “We mourn with the families, loved ones, and everyone affected,” while its ground teams work to provide care and support.

The crash, which occurred near Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, saw the aircraft plummet into a residential area, including the B.J. Medical College hostel, killing several students on the ground.

Preliminary reports suggest possible human error or a bird strike, though investigations involving India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), along with experts from the UK and US, are ongoing. Retrieving one of the plane’s black boxes has been hailed as a critical step in uncovering the cause.

With the investigation still in its early stages, the focus remains on supporting the grieving families while seeking answers to prevent future disasters.
