Boeing's Head of Commercial Airplanes Stephanie Pope held a crucial meeting with Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran at Air India's headquarters in Gurugram. The discussions reportedly focused on the crash of Air India's London-bound flight AI171, which resulted in over 270 fatalities.
The tragic incident occurred when a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed into a medical college complex soon after takeoff from Ahmedabad. Despite a May Day call to Ahmedabad's ATC, the aircraft, carrying 242 people, plummeted moments after reaching approximately 650 feet.
A Boeing spokesperson refrained from commenting on the meeting details, emphasizing the company's focus on supporting the ongoing investigation. N Chandrasekaran addressed Air India employees, urging them to transform the crisis into an opportunity to enhance airline safety.
