NEW DELHI — Errors in the cockpit were partly responsible for the crash of a Boeing 737 that killed 133 people in western India in 1988, the Press Trust of India said Tuesday.
A report on a court inquiry said the pilot, O. M. Dalaya, did not carry out proper procedures before the plane was to land Oct. 19 at Ahmedabad from Bombay. The plane belonged to state-run Indian Airlines.
