Quite similar to another air crash where the plane couldn't generate lift and takeoff cannot be aborted. Can be wrong air speed, flaps not open or engine lost power.

But this is modern 787 cannot be catastrophic failure sia

An Air India Ltd. Boeing Co. 787 aircraft, traveling from Ahmedabad to London’s Gatwick airport, has crashed, according to local media reports.

Flight 171 crashed shortly after take-off. The flight was carrying 242 passengers and crew, according to news agency ANI.

The airline had reached an altitude of 625 feet at a speed of 174 kilometre per second, according to data from Flightradar24. Social media videos showed black smoke billowing from afar.

Air India’s fleet includes 128 aircraft from Airbus SE and Boeing, according to the carrier’s website.

SINGAPORE: Around 100 Air India pilots will be given opportunities for work with Scoot, Singapore Airlines’ low-cost brand, the Hindu Business Line reported on Jun 8 (Sunday). Campbell Wilson, Air India’s CEO and managing director, has called the programme a win-win for both Air India and Scoot.

The programme will be on a voluntary basis and will allow Scoot to fill vacancies. At the same time, Air India’s captains and first officers will have the opportunity to train on Embraer aircraft and gain international exposure.

“Air India pilots have been offered deputation to Scoot (Singapore Airlines’ low-cost airline) on a voluntary basis. Here, they will also have the opportunity to train on Embraer 19 and Boeing 787s, the budget airline flies,” tweeted Indian aviation journalist Jagriti Chandra late last month.

“We actively seek talent within and outside Singapore, focusing on attracting and retaining qualified individuals who align with our values and can contribute to Scoot’s continued growth,” Hindu Business Line quoted Scoot as saying.
