The London-bound AI171 crashed immediately after taking off from Ahmedabad airport on June 12, 2025. Of the 242 people on board, 241 were killed, and 19 other victims were from the ground at the hostel complex of Ahmedabad’s B J Medical College that the plane crashed into. The closest international parallel to AI171 may be Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, the 2019 Boeing 737 MAX crash that killed 157 people.
