  The crash is currently under investigation by India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB). The United Kingdom's Air Accidents Investigation Branch also dispatched a team of four investigators, and the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) sent a "go team" to assist. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said that it " ready to launch a team immediately" in support of the NTSB.
  
  On 13 June, about 28 hours after the crash, the first of the aircraft's two enhanced airborne flight recorders (EAFRs), each of which performs the functions of both the flight data recorder (FDR) and the cockpit voice recorder (CVR), was recovered. Later that same day, the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad retrieved a digital video recorder from the wreckage that stores footage from the aircraft's external and cabin-mounted cameras and is separate from the two certified flight recorders. The second EAFR was recovered from the crash site on 16 June.
  
  India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and Air India opened parallel inquiries into the accident. On 13 June, the DGCA ordered additional pre-departure technical inspections for the airline's Boeing 787 fleet, starting on 15 June. DGCA also directed Air India to execute additional maintenance and inspections on fuel-parameter monitoring and associated systems, cabin air compressor and associated systems, electronic engine control system test, engine fuel driven actuator-operational test, and oil-system checks for the Boeing 787-8 and 787-9.
  
  On 14 June, Indian aviation minister Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu told reporters that the government panel investigating the crash would issue a report within three months. On 18 June The Wall Street Journal reported initial findings that the flaps and other control surfaces had been properly configured for take-off and that the ram air turbine (RAT) was operating when the airliner crashed.
  
  Some aviation experts have suggested the possibility of a failure of both engines, based on initial assessments of available video and audio recordings, which appear to show the automatic deployment of the plane's RAT, a backup power system which is deployed automatically in the event of major electrical, hydraulic, or dual-engine failure. The right engine was installed in March 2025, and the left was due for servicing in December 2025, having been last serviced in 2023; both had clean histories.
