One year after the AI-171 air disaster, the tragedy continues to remain deeply etched in the memories of survivors and families who lost their loved ones.

Along with passengers and crew onboard, people on the ground were also affected, leaving hundreds of families facing grief and rebuilding their lives after the incident.

Survivors and relatives recalled the painful moments of that day and shared how the passage of time has not erased the emotional scars. Many expressed that while a year has passed, they continue to hope for answers and closure through the ongoing investigation into the cause of the crash.

As the first anniversary was observed, the day stood as a reminder that healing after such a tragedy takes time. For many families, remembering those they lost and seeking accountability remain equally important as they move forward.
