Medical students who survived when an Air India plane crashed into their hostel say their first reaction was to help treat the injured

As per flight tracking data, at least nine Air India flights that were to be operated using the Boeing 787 aircraft have been cancelled so far on Tuesday.

Following the AI171 crash, India’s aviation regulator held a high-level meeting with Air India CEO Campbell Wilson to address gaps in flight safety, maintenance, and passenger communication.

At least 270 died when the Air India flight crashed into the campus of a medical college in Ahmedabad shortly after takeoff on Thursday. Only one passenger among the 242 aboard survived. At least 29 others on the ground, including five medical students inside the hostel, were also killed.

India saw one of its worst aviation disasters, in which at least 270 people were killed, last week and new evidence indicates that both engines of the plane may have failed.
