Under Section 7 of the Bharatiya Vayuyan Adhiniyam, 2024, the Aircraft Accidents Investigation Bureau, deemed constituted under the new Act, is primarily responsible for:

Section 7 provides that the Aircraft Accidents Investigation Bureau constituted under the Aircraft Act, 1934 shall be deemed constituted under the new Act, headed by a Director General appointed by the Central Government. The Bureau's core statutory responsibility is investigation of aircraft accidents and incidents, determining probable causes and contributory factors behind aviation safety occurrences and informing corrective regulatory action. This continues the institutional framework earlier established through the 2020 amendment to the Aircraft Act, 1934, which first accorded statutory recognition to the DGCA, BCAS, and AAIB, now consolidated under the Bharatiya Vayuyan Adhiniyam, 2024.
