The Air India accident resulted in the first complete loss of a B787 aircraft; it descended at a rate of 475 feet per minute.

An Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, flight AI171, crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad International Airport, bound for London Gatwick, with 242 passengers onboard. The aircraft, nearly 11.5 years old, lost communication just after reaching 625 feet altitude and issued a MAYDAY call before descending rapidly. It crashed near a medical college hostel, resulting in one survivor. This incident marks the first total loss of a Boeing 787-8. Investigators from India's aviation regulator and the U.S. NTSB are set to examine the crash, while Boeing has expressed support for Air India.
