The latest news showed that the plane crashed shortly after taking off from the airport, and the pilot sent a "Mayday" distress signal during this period. The statement from the Indian Civil Aviation Authority said that this Air India plane did not receive a response from the air traffic control department after sending the distress signal. The plane was piloted by Captain Sumit Sabawala and co-pilot Clive Kundal. Captain Sumit Sabawala had 8,200 hours of flight experience, and the co-pilot had 1,100 hours of flight experience. From the perspective of flight experience alone, the captain's experience is up to standard. Generally speaking, the minimum flight time for an ordinary captain is 3,000 hours, and the flight time for some international routes and large aircraft captains exceeds 10,000 hours. As for the aircraft age, this aircraft is only 12 years old. The crashed plane was put into operation in December 2013 and is one of the 27 Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft in Air India's fleet. After the accident, Air India, government departments, and airport management immediately launched rescue operations. Relevant messages said that this plane crash is also the first plane crash incident since the privatization of this airline. Indian media stated that due to the closure of Pakistani airspace, the airline's operations are already tight, and this plane accident is undoubtedly adding insult to injury. This accident is also the first involving a regular commercial flight in India since the accident of the Air India Express in Kozhikode in 2020, and it is also the first major plane crash incident in India Airlines in more than 40 years.
