00:00Yesterday I shared that Air India's technical and customer support team had assembled in Ahmedabad.
00:07Over 200 trained caregivers are now in place, with each family assigned dedicated assistance along with access to counselling and other services.
00:17We will continue to help and support the families however we can.
00:23I also updated on my visit to Ahmedabad where I visited the crash site and met with some of the families of the deceased.
00:31This followed a visit a day earlier by Tata Sons and Air India Chairman Mr N. Chandrasekharan and other members of the Air India management team are now in the city and will remain present for as long as it takes.
00:46To provide immediate financial support, Air India will be making an interim payment of 25 lakh rupees or approximately 21,000 British pounds to each of the families of the deceased and also to the survivor.
01:02This is in addition to the 1 crore rupees or approximately 85,000 British pounds already committed by Tata Sons.
01:12The process of reuniting next of kin with their loved ones and personal effects has begun.
01:19Our teams are working closely with the families and authorities to help the reunification process and, where appropriate, with repatriation.
01:29This is an emotional process and we ask that families be given space.
01:35The aircraft is also in the process of completing precautionary safety checks on Boeing 787 aircraft as directed by our regulator, the DGCA.
01:48We will complete all checks within the timelines prescribed by the regulator.
01:53As has been confirmed by the authorities, the aircraft's data recorder has been recovered, which will form part of the official investigation.
02:03And Air India continues to fully cooperate with these investigations.
02:08At this juncture, I also wish to acknowledge the work done by first responders and those from many organisations since the accident.
02:18And also to our crew, who continue to operate with professionalism and with safety, always as their primary responsibility.
