India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau
India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is a governmental body, established in 2012 under the Ministry of Civil Aviation, with its headquarters in New Delhi. As a statutory investigative agency, its primary mission is to enhance aviation safety by independently investigating civil aircraft accidents and serious incidents within Indian airspace. The AAIB focuses on determining causes, collecting evidence, and issuing crucial safety recommendations to prevent future occurrences, rather than assigning blame. Its work, adhering to international standards set by ICAO Annex 13, significantly contributes to improved safety protocols, pilot training, and aircraft design in India.
