Investigators will miss a one-year deadline to deliver the final report on an Air India Boeing 787 crash that occurred shortly after takeoff, sources say. Bloomberg reports that the delay is linked to ongoing engine examinations being carried out in the United States, which are not yet complete. Channel NewsAsia similarly states that the crash report is delayed because a key engine examination has not finished. Times of India adds further context from a preliminary assessment, saying investigators previously found that fuel control switches were moved to “CUTOFF” after takeoff. However, it remains unclear whether that action was taken by the pilots or resulted from a possible technical malfunction. Times of India also reports expectations that the final report will be delayed by about three months, tied to the still-pending engine analysis in the US. Across the outlets, the central point is that investigators cannot complete their findings without the results of the engine work, leaving uncertainty about the role of the “CUTOFF” switch movement and its cause.
