In a rare show of international solidarity, His Majesty King Charles III of the United Kingdom has expressed profound shock and heartfelt condolences following a devastating Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crash in Ahmedabad earlier today.


The tragedy, which reportedly claimed the lives of all 242 passengers and crew, has sent shockwaves across the globe, prompting swift responses from world leaders and a coordinated humanitarian effort.

The ill-fated flight, AI 171, was en route from Ahmedabad to London when it crashed shortly after takeoff from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport around 1:15 PM IST.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) confirmed the aircraft plummeted from 825 feet, erupting into a ball of flame in the Meghani area. Among the victims were 169 Indians, 53 British nationals, one Canadian, and seven Portuguese nationals.

In a statement released by Buckingham Palace at 12:22 UTC (5:52 PM IST), King Charles III, alongside his wife, conveyed their deepest sympathies to the families and friends of those affected. “Our special prayers and deepest possible sympathy are with the families and friends of all those affected by this appallingly tragic incident across so many nations,” the King wrote, paying tribute to the heroic efforts of emergency services. This gesture is notable given the rarity of royal statements on foreign aviation incidents, possibly reflecting heightened diplomatic ties amid recent global tensions, including U.S. annexation threats to Canada, where Charles spoke on May 27, 2025.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation, describing the crash as a “heart-wrenching loss” and assuring a thorough investigation by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB). The cause remains under scrutiny, with early reports suggesting a mayday call from the pilots—Captain Sumeet Sabharwal and First Officer Clive Kundar —just before the crash. 

Globally, reactions poured in swiftly. UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer called the scenes “devastating,” while Russian President Vladimir Putin offered condolences.
