Air India 787 Crash: Black Boxes Yield Clues as Investigation Progresses, Boeing & GE Shares React
Investigators have successfully extracted crucial data from the black boxes of Air India Flight 171, which crashed on June 12, marking a significant step forward in determining the cause of the deadly Boeing 787 incident. Teams in Delhi have begun downloading information from the flight-data and cockpit-voice recorders, which are expected to provide vital insights into the jet’s failure shortly after takeoff.
Civil Aviation Minister Murlidhar Mohol confirmed that the primary focus of the ongoing probe is pinpointing why both engines unexpectedly cut out. Authorities are meticulously examining the aircraft’s fuel systems, electrical components, and hydraulics as part of the comprehensive investigation.
The unfolding developments have also influenced the stock market. Boeing (NYSE:BA) shares saw a modest rise of approximately 1.5% as investors and analysts await preliminary findings. GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE), which supplied the 787’s GEnx engines and manufactured the recorders, experienced a more notable climb of over 3%, buoyed by its integral role in the aircraft.
A preliminary update on the crash is anticipated in the coming weeks, with a full accident report expected to follow in the months ahead.
