Air India disburses interim compensation to families of Ahmedabad plane crash victims, with more payments in process.

Sumeet Sabharwal, 56, was the captain on the flight, while Clive Kunder, 32, was the co-pilot who was flying the plane. Together, the two pilots had more than 19,000 hours of flight experience - nearly half of it on the Boeing 787. Both had passed all pre-flight health checks before the crash.

Preliminary findings into last month’s Air India plane crash suggest the aircraft’s fuel control switches were turned off, causing a loss of engine thrust shortly after takeoff.
