The US transportation safety body NTSB has appointed its “accredited representative and technical advisors” to assist the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) in the ongoing probe into the Air India Express plane crash at the Kozhikode airport earlier this month.
The AAIB on Thursday said its team, which is probing the accident, is coordinating with personnel from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
At least 18 people, including two pilots, were killed and several injured after the Air India Express aircraft coming from Dubai crashed on August 7.
The Boeing plane overshot the runway at the Kozhikode airport in Kerala, falling into a valley and breaking into pieces.
