New Delhi, July 12, 2025 (ANI): As Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) releases its preliminary report on the Air India plane crash, Founder & CEO of Martin Consulting, Aviation Safety and Consulting Firm, Mark D Martin said, "It is the initial report, and it is quite cryptic in many ways. It says a lot of points that don't add up. If there was an engine failure, that is only when the RAT deploys. When the RAT deploys, there is only one course to restart the engine. It has been reported in the past that the fuel cut-off switches have been tripped and gone back to the cut-off position several times... The sad part is most MROs and maintenance companies in the world don't take AAIBs seriously... It could have been one of the reasons for this incident. We are still in the initial stage of investigation and still have 90 days for the full investigation report to come out."
