For the families of those killed in the AI-171 crash, June 12 is not just a date—it is a memory that continues to define their lives one year later
One year after Air India Flight AI-171 crashed moments after take-off from Ahmedabad on June 12, 2025, killing 260 people, families of victims say the pain remains as profound as ever. While the city has largely returned to normal, loved ones continue to relive the tragedy through memories of final phone calls, unanswered questions and lives forever altered. The disaster claimed passengers, crew members and people on the ground when the London-bound aircraft crashed into a hostel complex in Meghani Nagar, leaving only one survivor. From grieving spouses and parents to rescue workers who witnessed the devastation firsthand, many say the events of that day continue to haunt them. As Ahmedabad marks one year since one of India's deadliest aviation disasters, families are still struggling to find closure while carrying the memories of those they lost.
