The release of the final report on the deadly Air India Boeing 787 crash is expected to be postponed as investigators continue their analysis of the aircraft's engines, according to sources close to the case. The delay coincides with the one-year anniversary of the tragic event.

An initial assessment by U.S. officials, reported by Reuters last year, indicated that cockpit recordings suggested the captain might have cut the fuel supply to the engines. However, Indian authorities have stated that it is too premature to arrive at any decisive conclusions regarding the cause of the crash.

The pilots onboard, Captain Sumeet Sabharwal and First Officer Clive Kunder, each had extensive flying experience and were highly qualified. Their personal stories and professional backgrounds are detailed, revealing moments leading up to the crash. Sabharwal's father is calling for an independent investigation, suspecting factors beyond pilot actions may have played a role.
