Air India Crash: Tragic families are left with questions after the Air India Flight AI171 crash incident that’s why U.S.-based aviation lawyer Mike Andrews represented more than 65 families. He simply demanded something too critical-an open investigation that won’t throw blame prematurely at dead pilots.
Andrews said that such investigation will never close until the data-including flight data recorder (FDR) and cockpit voice recorder (CVR)-is fully shared. It may be unfair to blame them early, however, it may also be used to shield the aircraft manufacturer from liabilities. Families rather should know the truth, whether it is in technical systems, an operating procedure, or anything else.
Legal Options Under Review
If the final investigation concludes that mechanical or design faults contributed to the incident. Andrews is poised to sue Boeing under product liability laws in the U.S. He knew that if the airline was proven to have committed operational negligence, claims could be made. Under the Montreal Convention, which controls disputes with respect to air travel. In both cases, these families do not seek any amount just for damages but also call for accountability.
Apart from all this, Andrews also criticized the slow process of compensation. He stressed that interim payments promised by Air India have reached only a few affected families. “Financial relief cannot replace lost lives, but it’s an immediate duty which the airlines and regulators have to face,” he adds.

Concerns About the Preliminary Report
The first report by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau posited that engine failure was linked to fuel cutoff switches. Families and the pilots’ associations, however, termed the report hazy and narrowing down the scope too quickly to “pilot error.” Also sharing their concerns regarding the premature conclusions drawn, the Pilots’ Association of India lest the flow of the narrative and deeper technical or systemic issues be ignored.
In fact, the truth should be demanded by families whose loved ones were taken away. They are not just looking for compensation.
