The plane was headed to London's Gatwick airport in the UK, Air India said, while police officers said it crashed in a civilian area near the airport.

"At this moment, we are ascertaining the details and will share further updates," Air India said on X.

Investigators recover 'black box' flight recorders from Air India crash

The crash occurred when the aircraft was taking off, television channels reported. Visuals showed debris on fire, with thick black smoke rising up into the sky near the airport.

They also showed visuals of people being moved in stretchers and being taken away in ambulances.

A total of 242 people were on board the flight, news agency ANI reported, citing Gujarat state's police control room.

India's CNN News18 TV channel, however, said there were 220 passengers and 12 crew on the plane.

…of course, all of the deaths…horrific, I would say that some will be more difficult to identify and confirm, though…as to who was in a building at a given time of the plane impact…

Tragic. However as it was just taking off, the plane didn't have far to fall, so it would have been over pretty quickly. Take off and landing are where most crashes happen because thats when they are under maximum stress
