The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) tells the Supreme Court that a draft final report on the June 2025 Air India crash is expected by October. According to the AAIB, the investigation is complex and is still in progress, and the bureau provides an update on the timeline for completing required analysis work. The AAIB states that the analysis activities are expected to be completed within a defined period, though the final schedule can be affected by external factors.

The sources also report that the AAIB’s affidavit clarifies the purpose and scope of the aircraft accident investigation. It says the investigation is intended to enhance aviation safety and prevent future accidents, rather than to assign blame or to determine civil or criminal liability. The bureau indicates that the draft final report will be prepared for review, with the anticipated completion aligning with procedures used in international accident investigations.
