‘The role of the systemic failures as a contributory factor cannot be overlooked in the accident’
The pilot’s non-adherence to the standard operating procedure (SOP) is the probable cause of the Air India Express plane crash at the Kozhikode airport in August 2020, but the role of the systemic failures as a contributory factor cannot be overlooked in the accident, according to the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) probe report. The crash, involving a Boeing 737-800 aircraft, killed 21 people, including the two pilots, and injured several others. While trying to land at the airport amid rain, the aircraft overshot the runway and later broke into pieces. There were 190 people onboard when the crash happened on August 7, 2020.
