These flights, associated with Boeing 787 Dreamliners, have been under scrutiny after technical concerns were raised prior to takeoff during the crash incident. Effective June 17, AI159 and AI160 will replace the retired flights on this international route. This move comes in response to growing public concern and intensified questioning about the aircraft's safety and mechanical integrity. The central government has already initiated a deeper investigation into Boeing aircraft operations, signaling that safety and transparency are now top priorities. Authorities are expected to present complete findings to the public through national media soon. This decision underscores Air India's commitment to passenger safety and fleet modernization as the airline takes corrective steps after the fatal crash. via: <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-in/entertainment/bollywood/breaking-news-air-india-retires-ai171-and-ai172-flights-after-ahmedabad-crash-new-flights-to-begin-june-17/vi-AA1GGY16" target="_blank">https://www.msn.com/en-in/entertainment/bollywood/breaking-news-air-india-retires-ai171-and-ai172-flights-after-ahmedabad-crash-new-flights-to-begin-june-17/vi-AA1GGY16</a>363527Breaking News: Air India Retires AI171 and AI172 Flights After Ahmedabad Crash New Flights to Begin blogs/6-2025/363527-breaking-news-air-i-s.jpgHouston Texans Star Named Among Unluckiest Players in NFLhttps://www.si.com/nfl/texans/news/houston-texans-star-nico-collins-named-among-unluckiest-players-nfeatures/blogs/wjldradio-houston-texans-star-named-among-unluckiest-players-nfl/Posted by wjldradio0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/wjldradio-houston-texans-star-named-among-unluckiest-players-nfl/#commentsSat, 14 Jun 2025 15:45 GMTOne Houston Texans star faced their fair share of misfortune last season. via: <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/texans/news/houston-texans-star-nico-collins-named-among-unluckiest-players-nfl" target="_blank">https://www.si.com/nfl/texans/news/houston-texans-star-nico-collins-named-among-unluckiest-players-nfl</a>363528Houston Texans Star Named Among Unluckiest Players in NFLblogs/6-2025/363528-houston-texans-star-s.jpgBreaking News: Two State Lawmakers Shothttps://fergusnow.com/2025/06/14/breaking-news-two-state-lawmakers-shot/features/blogs/wjldradio-breaking-news-two-state-lawmakers-shot/Posted by wjldradio0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/wjldradio-breaking-news-two-state-lawmakers-shot/#commentsSat, 14 Jun 2025 14:54 GMT<div class="content-image" id="divBlogPage_Image1"><img id="bvimg1" src="https://media-cdn.socastsrm.com/wordpress/wp-content/blogs.dir/2396/files/2021/01/breaking-news-card-1200x675.jpg" title="" /></div> Multiple reports say two Minnesota lawmakers were shot early this morning.
