Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu condemned international media outlets for biased reporting about the Air India Boeing accident. The Civil Aviation Minister announced the government would reserve judgment until investigators complete their final assessment. He praised the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau for successfully extracting black box information domestically rather than sending equipment overseas for analysis. This marked the first occasion India accomplished such technical work independently. The minister emphasized a thorough examination of preliminary findings before implementing safety measures.
Jennifer Homendy from the United States National Transportation Safety Board declared recent news coverage premature and speculative. Publications like the Wall Street Journal and Reuters appeared to blame pilots without conclusive evidence. The AAIB formally requested media restraint from unverified conclusions during active investigations. Officials stressed respect for victims' families while the probe continues. Investigators warned against spreading incomplete narratives that could compromise the examination process.
