Parliamentary Panel likely to study Ahmedabad plane crash, hold talks with Air India & Boeing

New Delhi: A parliamentary panel is likely to conduct a detailed study of the Ahmedabad plane crash and is planning to hold deliberations over the same with various stakeholders, including the DGCA, Air India, Boeing, and others, sources have said.

The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transport, chaired by Rajya Sabha MP and JDU’s national working president Sanjay Jha, also deals with issues related to civil aviation. The panel is planning to come up with a detailed report on the safety of passengers in aeroplanes, and in this regard, it is looking to hold wider discussions on the Ahmedabad plane crash, sources said.

The panel, at its next meeting next week, will decide the contours of the deliberations on this incident, sources said. Another factor which will be considered is the date when this Boeing Dreamliner 787-8 was procured (at that time the airline was under government control), why it was preferred over other planes, and how it was maintained for the last decade or so, sources said.

For presenting a report on the safety of passengers travelling on planes, a detailed analysis would be done from man, machine, mechanisms and systems in place perspective, sources in the panel said.
