Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB)

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) is a UK government organization responsible for examining aviation accidents and serious incidents. Its goal is to determine what caused an accident, without assigning blame or liability, to improve safety in aviation. The AAIB conducts thorough investigations, analyzing wreckage, flight data, and witness reports, then publishes reports with findings and safety recommendations. This process helps airlines, manufacturers, and regulators enhance aircraft design, procedures, and training to prevent future accidents, ultimately making air travel safer for everyone.
