An Air India flight to London Gatwick has crashed in Ahmedabad in western India shortly after take-off, according to local police.

Police in Gujarat state told the Financial Times that the plane crashed “within 10 minutes” of taking off from the airport in Ahmedabad.

Local media said 242 people were on board, including two pilots and 10 members of cabin crew.

“Flight AI171, operating Ahmedabad-London Gatwick, was involved in an incident today, 12 June 2025. At this moment, we are ascertaining the details,” Air India posted on X.

The plane was a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner and sent its last signal just seconds after take-off, according to Flightradar24.

Tata, which took over the airline from state control in 2022, said it could not immediately comment.

Tata promised to modernise the carrier, and in 2023 Air India agreed a deal with Boeing and Airbus to buy 470 new aircraft, one of the largest orders in aviation history.

The airline’s chief executive Campbell Wilson told the FT in 2023 that the modernisation plan was “the biggest aviation turnaround . . . that I am ever aware of”.

Gatwick airport did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
