Air India Crash: US Group Alleges 11-Year History of Electrical Defects in Plane

• A US aviation safety group, Foundation for Aviation Safety (FAS), claims the Air India Boeing 787-8 that crashed in Ahmedabad had an 11-year history of serious electrical defects.
• The aircraft, which crashed last year killing 241 people, reportedly had fire-damaged power panels, bus tie bar damage, core network faults, and electrical transients.
• FAS Executive Director Ed Pierson stated these weren't minor discrepancies and many events were severe enough to ground the plane.
• FAS shared these 'non-public' documents with NTSB and AAIB but claims to have received no response from either agency.
• FAS expressed doubts about the investigation's transparency, alleging a deliberate effort by Air India and Boeing to conceal information.
