Air India flight crash marks Boeing 787’s first fatal incident, jeopardising Boeing’s recovery amid ongoing safety concerns.
An Air India flight crash involving a Boeing 787 near Ahmedabad resulted in no survivors, marking Boeing’s first fatal incident with this model. The incident further complicates Boeing’s recovery from prior safety issues and has negatively impacted its stock.
The crash of an Air India flight to London marks the first fatal incident involving a Boeing 787. This accident comes as Boeing attempts to recover from previous safety and manufacturing crises.
In recent years, Boeing has suffered significant financial losses due to aircraft groundings and production delays. The Boeing 787-8 jet was carrying 242 passengers and crashed shortly after departure from an airport near Ahmedabad in western India.
Cause of crash
The cause of the incident is currently unknown, as accidents can arise from various factors, including crew errors or manufacturing faults.
In response, Boeing confirmed it is in contact with Air India regarding the situation and is prepared to assist. Following the crash, Boeing’s stock saw a decline of about 5%.
This incident poses another challenge for Boeing, which was beginning to recover from a high-profile accident involving a 737 MAX.
That earlier incident resulted in the removal of Boeing’s chief executive and raised questions about the company’s safety culture and production practices.

Investors monitor Big Tech’s AI investments, with Meta thriving while Microsoft and Tesla face uncertainty over growth and returns.
Investors are reacting sharply to Big Tech earnings this week, sending a clear signal that massive spending must translate into real growth. Markets are becoming less forgiving as companies pour billions into artificial intelligence, data centres and future tech while returns remain uncertain.
Meta has delivered a standout performance, posting a 24 percent jump in revenue for the December quarter, fuelled by AI-powered advertising. The company is doubling down on its strategy, with aggressive investment in AI and infrastructure expected to drive a further 33 percent growth this quarter.
Microsoft and Tesla tell a more cautious story. Microsoft reported only modest growth in its Azure cloud business, raising questions about its exposure to OpenAI, while Tesla plans to double spending on AI and autonomous driving. Analysts warn of a widening gap between bold AI ambitions and what investors expect in returns.

Federal Reserve holds interest rates steady, balancing inflation and jobs, as some governors advocate for a cut.
The Federal Reserve has opted to keep interest rates unchanged, marking the first pause since July. Officials are showing little urgency to resume cuts, even after previous rate reductions.
Two Fed governors opposed the decision, calling for a quarter-point cut, highlighting ongoing debates within the rate-setting committee, which includes both appointed governors and regional bank presidents.
Concerns over the job market and persistent inflation continue to weigh heavily on the Fed’s policy decisions, leaving economists and investors closely watching the next moves.
