Ahmedabad (Gujarat): The total number of DNA sample matches in the tragic Ahmedabad plane crash reached to 80, including that of former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, with 33 bodies handed over respectfully to the relatives, officials said.

The Air India plane, Flight AL171, which was carrying 242 passengers and crew members, was travelling towards London’s Gatwick Airport when it crashed soon after it departed from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport.

It’s also the latest disaster to hit the beleaguered American aerospace giant — which has been dogged by a door that blew off a 737 jet, a leaky spacecraft that stranded astronauts on the International Space Station for months, as well as politically damaging delays in outfitting the new Air Force One jets.

Air India flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 carrying 242 people, crashed after taking off from Ahmedabad on its way to London.

The crash happened just weeks after the company cut a deal with the U.S. government to avoid taking criminal responsibility for a pair of deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019.

An Air India crash Thursday involved a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, which the aircraft manufacturer first delivered 14 years ago.
