NEW DELHI: Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu said on July 12 that the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB)’s report on the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad is based on preliminary findings and one should not jump into conclusions till the final report is made public. Speaking to reporters, he said we should now jump into any conclusions over this.
“I believe we have the most wonderful workforce of pilots and crew in the whole world. I have to appreciate all the efforts the pilots and crew of the country are putting, they are the backbone of civil aviation,” Naidu said. “They are the primary resource of civil aviation. We care for the welfare and well-being of the pilots also. So let us not jump into any conclusions at this stage and wait for the final report,” he told reporters.
According to Naidu, there are technicalities involved. “It will be very premature to comment on the report. The preliminary has come in but we have to wait for something concrete to come in,” he noted.
Minister of State for Civil Aviation, Murlidhar Mohol, also said the report by the AAIB is still preliminary and “we cannot say anything definite at this point. I believe further investigation is still underway”.
