India Delays Air India Crash Report on 260 Deaths as US Engine Probe Remains Unfinished

Summary
Friday’s one-year deadline will be missed in the Air India Ahmedabad crash investigation because examination of the Boeing jet’s engines in the US is still incomplete, people familiar with the matter said.
This week, India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau is instead expected to issue a status report explaining the delay rather than a full account of why the aircraft crashed just after takeoff.
A final report is now expected within three months, extending scrutiny of a probe into Flight 171, which crashed 32 seconds after departure from Ahmedabad and killed 260 people.
