Pilots' Federation Challenges AAIB Summons in Air India Ahmedabad Crash Investigation

The Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) has issued a legal notice to the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) challenging the summons of Air India pilot Varun Anand in the probe of the June 2025 Air India Boeing 787-8 crash in Ahmedabad. FIP argues Anand has no operational link to the flight or crash and criticizes the AAIB's investigation approach as lacking transparency and potentially biased. The AAIB maintains its authority to summon relevant witnesses under investigation rules, while FIP calls for a judicial inquiry citing concerns over the probe's fairness.
