Known for its technological advancements, the aircraft's failure reflects a grave anomaly in its operations.

Speaking to ANI, Patel expressed deep concern over the incident involving flight AI171, which crashed near Ahmedabad airport. 'Our condolences to the victims and their families. This tragedy highlights the importance of a detailed investigation to unearth the reasons behind such an unexpected failure,' he stated.

Pilot and operational protocols are under scrutiny after the aircraft, carrying 242 passengers, issued a 'Mayday' call post-takeoff.
