Air India crash families file lawsuit against Boeing and Honeywell

Families of four victims of Air India Flight 171, which crashed during take-off from Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India on June 12, 2025 killing 260 people, have filed a lawsuit in Delaware Superior Court against Boeing and Honeywell alleging defective fuel cutoff switches on the Boeing 787. The complaint cites a 2018 FAA advisory recommending inspection of the switches, maintenance records showing throttle module replacements in 2019 and 2023, and cockpit recordings indicating the captain cut engine fuel flow, though India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau preliminary report found all airworthiness directives were met. Boeing declined comment, Honeywell has not responded, and aviation experts expressed doubt that the switches could be inadvertently activated. Click image above for reading the related post!

Controller asleep leaves Air Corsica flight circling for one hour

On 15 September 2025, Air Corsica flight XK777, an Airbus A320 operating from Paris-Orly to Ajaccio, Corsica, France, was forced to hold for approximately one hour after repeated attempts to contact Ajaccio tower failed, as the duty controller was later found asleep with the runway lights turned off. The crew, unable to establish communication or receive landing clearance, contacted airport firefighters and the gendarmerie, who gained access to the control tower and woke the controller, after which the flight was cleared to land with a total delay of 78 minutes. The incident, now under review by the French civil aviation authority DGAC, has raised concerns over single-controller night staffing, fatigue management, and the absence of redundancy in tower operations at regional airports.
