A year on, probe report of Air India Express Calicut crash yet to be released

MUMBAI: Unlike the investigations carried out into fatal airline accidents that occurred in India in the previous decades, the Air India Express Calicut crash that killed 21 people last August is different in that no report has been released even a year down the line.

This will the first time in many decades that India will miss the one year deadline set by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for submission of a final report. India had honoured the one-year deadline in all other fatal crashes that occurred in the earlier decades.

For instance: the final report of Air India Express Mangalore crash that occurred in May 2010 was released in March 2011.
