Amid unfinished inquiries into aviation disasters, the China Eastern crash remains a case study in delayed reporting. This accident, causing 132 deaths, highlights a worrying trend where final reports, crucial for preventing future incidents, are often not published on time. Investigations are imperative for crucial safety advancements in aviation.

Industry experts express concerns over delayed reports, as only a preliminary report and two brief updates on the China Eastern crash have emerged. The necessity for conclusive final reports grows as incomplete investigations, hindered by politics and resources, continue to raise alarms across international aviation bodies.

Even when reports are completed, allegations of inaccuracies and neglect of recommendations often emerge, as seen in previous Egyptian and Sinai airline accidents. Nonetheless, stakeholders recommend integrating insights from civil and police investigations, promoting transparent communication to bolster global aviation safety.
