In a new twist to the devastating Air India plane crash, officials have come forward to reveal that the aircraft’s right-side engine had recently been overhauled completely just three months prior to the accident. This new information is currently emerging as the focus of the current investigation into what went wrong on the ill-fated flight.
Right Engine Serviced Recently
The right engine of the plane was overhauled in March 2025 under normal maintenance procedures, a preliminary report said. The work was done by an authorized maintenance organization and certified airworthy. The fact that this key component was apparently just cleared heightens the complexity of the probe, with authorities now looking at whether the engine itself failed or if other system failures were present.
DGCA and Air India Initiate Internal Investigations
The internal safety board of Air India and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) have initiated a more in-depth investigation into the maintenance records, flight data recorders, and pilot reports to piece together the last few moments leading up to the crash. The investigators are not eliminating a mechanical failure despite the plane being serviced just a week ago, and are also considering external causes including bird strikes, turbulence due to weather, or potential pilot error, according to sources.
Pilot Radio Contacts Under Scrutiny
Audio recordings of the last radio contacts by the pilot with air traffic control have come to light, and they reveal the crew mentioning strange vibrations on the right side of the plane mere minutes before impact. While it is not yet known if this was necessarily a direct cause of the overhauled engine, the report has raised questions about whether the malfunction was sudden or had been developing undetected over a period of time.
A Fatal Accident Under Investigation
The accident, which took place during the descent phase of the aircraft, resulted in several fatalities and has sent shockwaves throughout the aviation sector. Since passenger safety is a top priority, government and airline authorities are under intense pressure to identify the cause of the accident quickly and openly.
As the investigations go on, the public and relatives of the victims wait for answers. The latest revelations regarding the engine’s servicing history only added to the enigma of what caused this devastating failure of one of India’s most reliable airline fleets.
