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.

After flight 171’s fatal crash linked to fuel control switches, the carrier inspected its Boeing 787 and 737 fleets, with a final report anticipated in a year.
