The family of one of the Air India crash victims has criticised the company for sending them a distressing email over Christmas – without warning – which contained images of their loved one’s burnt clothing.
Jamie Meek was one of the 53 British nationals who lost their life on June 12, 2025, when the Gatwick-bound Air India flight 171 crashed shortly after take-off in Ahmedabad.
A total of 241 passengers and crew died, and it was the greatest loss of British life in an aviation disaster since 9/11.
Jamie was celebrating his wedding anniversary in India with his partner, Fiongal, who also died on the flight.
The video of the couple moments before boarding their flight back home has been viewed by many around the world.
Seven months on from the crash, his family has told ITV News of their shock and anger at the airline.
