VISAKHAPATNAM (AP), July 12, 2025(ANI): On AAIB's preliminary report on AI 171 crash, Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu said, "This is a preliminary report, at the ministry we are analysing it...We are coordinating with AIBB for any support they need. We are hoping that the final reports come out soon so that we can arrive at some conclusion..." "I truly believe we have the most wonderful workforce in terms of pilots and the crew in the whole world have to Pilots and crew are the backbone of the aviation industry. "
00:00So I'd like to appreciate all the efforts they have put in to do a very transparent, very mature, professional way the investigation has been done.
00:09And also all the international protocols have also been respected and followed.
00:14Justice has to be done. So let's not jump to any conclusions at this stage. Let us wait for the final report.
00:19I'd like to appreciate the job done by AIB, a very commendable job. It was a very challenging task.
00:28In fact, for the first time, safely securing the black box and trying to decode the data and everything being done in India itself in the lab in Delhi for AIB, first of its kind.
00:40So I'd like to appreciate all the efforts they have put in to do a very transparent, very mature, professional way the investigation has been done.
00:49And also all the international protocols have also been respected and followed.
00:54And regarding the report, this is a preliminary report right now.
00:58And from the ministry, we are analyzing the report.
01:01But I think it would be better if we can comment on it once the final report comes in.
01:05So we are coordinating with AIB also.
01:08Whatever support or resources they need, we'll be providing to them.
01:12But AIB will be the primary investigating agency into this.
01:16And we are hoping that as soon as possible, the final report also comes in so that we can arrive at some conclusions.
01:24So right now, like the report has only stated within that, that there are multiple other things also that need to be looked into before preparing the final report.
01:32So we don't, we want the final report to come in, to look at things.
01:38So let us wait till then.
01:39Sir, the conversation between both pilots, fuel was cut off.
01:43Is it intentional?
01:44It was intentional or not?
01:45No, no, nothing like that.
01:48I don't think we should jump into any conclusions on this.
01:51I truly believe we have the most wonderful workforce in terms of pilots and the crew in the whole world.
01:58I have to appreciate, I have to appreciate all the efforts the pilots and the crew in this country are putting into the aviation.
02:06They are the backbone of this civil aviation.
02:08They are the primary resource of civil aviation.
02:11And we care for the welfare and the well-being of our pilots also.
02:14So let's not jump to any conclusions at this stage.
02:17Let us wait for the final report.
02:18Sir, what was your message at the 15-12-14 report?
02:21Justice has to be done.
02:24So I know it is a very difficult time for the family members.
02:29But from our side, whatever best we can do from the ministry, we are trying to assist in that.
02:33Sir, what are you talking about the support art angle, saying that how can the fuel engine shut off on its goal?
02:38So this is, see, these are technical things.
02:42And that is why we have the investigation agency.
02:45And once they are clear with something, they are going to produce the final report.
02:48And at this stage, it will be very immature for me also to comment on it.
02:51The preliminary has come in.
02:53But for something concrete, we have to wait for the final report.
02:57And we will assist the AIB in getting it done soon.
