A sad case. Once they find the data boxes and inspect the data and voice records of the crew they might arrive at an answer. Unlike the USA, India as well as China prioritise political aspects above facts. This leads to the danger of hidden facts that show any officer is at fault. They also have a rigid hierarchy so if a senior officer makes an error, a junior officer dares not correct him and cause the senior to lose 'face'. This has caused plane crashes in India/China in the past.


India has an aviation safety record the past 20 years nearly as good as USAs. Your comment isn’t helpful.


I do not agree


Indian civil aviation market is pretty safe, given the amount of air travel in that country. Curious do you any data to back up your claims? The only case I Know of Junior Office/Senior office air crash was a Korean airline crash.
