00:00One year after the tragic crash of Air India Flight 171 in Ahmedabad, the final report
00:05into what caused the disaster is still not ready.
00:08The delay comes as investigators continue examining the aircraft's GE engines which
00:13were sent to the United States as part of the probe.

00:20Air crash investigations typically work by ruling out every possible cause before arriving
00:24at the most likely explanation.
00:26So far, investigators believe deliberate pilot action remains the most probable factor
00:32behind the crash, but they are still examining other aircraft systems before reaching a final
00:37conclusion.

00:43It's also disrupted Air India's turnaround plan.
00:46The airline ended the last financial year with a record loss and the fallout has triggered
00:51leadership changes, including the resignation of CEO Campbell Wilson.
00:55Those losses have also raised concern within Air India's owners, the Tata Group and its
01:00partners Singapore Airlines.
