The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau's preliminary report on the Air India crash reveals crucial insights, praised by IATA. The report, delivered on time, details the accident's causes, notably a simultaneous fuel switch cutoff leading to confusion.

Fuel control switches for the engines of an Air India flight that crashed last month were moved from the “run” to the “cutoff” position moments before impact, starving both engines of fuel, a preliminary investigation report said early Saturday.

An Air India executive is still urging its staff not to jump to any conclusions as the investigation into the crash that killed 260 people last month continues. A preliminary report into the June crash found that the plane's fuel control switches had been flipped off one by one.
