Air India SATS Services (AISATS) has prompted the resignation of four senior employees following the circulation of a viral video showing staff members dancing and celebrating at their workplace. The footage emerged shortly after the Air India AI 171 crash in Ahmedabad, drawing widespread public concern.

In a statement released Friday, AISATS expressed deep regret over the incident, noting its discordance with company values. "At AISATS, we stand in solidarity with the families affected by the tragic AI 171 loss and deeply regret the lapse in judgment reflected in a recent internal video," the statement read, committing to empathy, professionalism, and accountability.

The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) Lab in New Delhi is currently analyzing data from the black boxes of Flight AI-171. The crash, which took place on June 12, involved an Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner that tragically claimed 241 lives shortly after takeoff in Ahmedabad.
