An Air India Boeing (BA.N) 787 Dreamliner bound for London crashes shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad city, killing all but one of the 242 people on board. India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) launches an investigation into the world's deadliest crash in a decade.

Union Civil Aviation Minister Rammohan Naidu has advised restraint amidst global speculation on the Air India crash in Ahmedabad. He stressed respecting the formal investigation process led by AAIB, which has decoded the black box locally for the first time.

With conclusive information hard to come by weeks after the fatal Air India crash, the aviation industry has shifted its focus to possible pilot error.
