(a year ago)The investigation into the cause of the fall of Air India plane at India's Ahmedabad in June is far from over and it is not appropriate to draw hasty conclusions, said airline Executive Director Campbell Wilson, in an internal memo released Monday after investigators released a preliminary report.

The memo, seen by Reuters, comes after a preliminary report found that there was confusion in the pilot's cabin just before the crash of Boeing Dreamlinker, killing 260 people, 241 out of 242 on board and 19 on land.
According to the preliminary report of the Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB), the fuel supply for aircraft engines appears to have been cut short a few minutes after the lift, leading to its crash. “The work of the preliminary report marks the point at which we, together with the rest of the world, have begun to gain further information about what happened. As expected, he has clarified some things, but also raised further questions”, the airline's executive director said.
The preliminary report has not identified any cause, nor has it given any recommendation, so it would encourage all to avoid drawing hasty conclusions as the investigation is far from complete”, he added.
Immediately after his departure, Boeing 787 Dreamliner, who was launched by Ahmedabad, India, with London's destination, lost the push and began losing altitude before it fell, according to an AAIB report.
The report said that no mechanical defect or maintenance problems were found in advance and that required maintenance had been carried out. The investigation is being conducted by AAIB, an agency depending on India's civil aviation ministry.
After the crash, Air India underwent numerous audits in various fields.
