Sumeet Sabharwal, 56, was the captain on the flight, while Clive Kunder, 32, was the co-pilot who was flying the plane. Together, the two pilots had more than 19,000 hours of flight experience - nearly half of it on the Boeing 787. Both had passed all pre-flight health checks before the crash.

PEOPLE spoke to aviation expert Anthony Brickhouse about the tragic June 12 crash that killed 241 passengers and crew members. A black box recording suggested the captain of the ill-fated Air India flight had turned off the plane’s fuel switches shortly before the crash.

AAIB’s preliminary report says fuel switches were cut off before the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad last month
