The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is currently investigating the January 28, 2026, incident involving the Learjet 45 aircraft VT-SSK, which caught fire at Baramati. Initial findings indicate that the aircraft's black boxes were damaged during the blaze, complicating the investigation process. Authorities are focusing on gathering evidence to determine the cause of the accident, which has raised concerns regarding aviation safety protocols.
