Air India Crash: Preliminary Report Findings


Listen Later

A preliminary report into the Air India crash last month has found that fuel supplies to the engines were cut shortly after take-off causing them to lose thrust.

The report also found no mechanical issues with the plane or its engines, bringing renewed focus on to the actions of the two pilots, as two fuel switches on the plane appear to have been switched off manually.

Presenter, Victoria Craig, speaks to the BBC's India business correspondent, Archana Shukla, to get the latest.

Also on the programme: President Trump and the First Lady Melania Trump visited central Texas today to survey where flash floods killed 120 people last weekend. How might disasters like this be avoided in the future?

Joining Victoria to discuss business stories from around the world are Andy Uhler, Energy Journalism Fellow at University of Texas at Austin and Amita Arudpragasam, writer and policy analyst based in Sri Lanka.
