Family members of the victims of the June 2025 Ahmedabad plane crash are pressing for access to the aircraft's black box data, which includes the Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit Voice Recorder information. The crash, involving Air India flight AI 171, resulted in the deaths of 260 individuals when the Boeing 787-8 aircraft crashed shortly after taking off from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.
