AHMEDABAD (Reuters) -Lawrence Christian had flown to India to bury his father. A fortnight later, his family is now waiting to bury him. Christian, 30, worked in Britain and was one of the passengers on the Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner bound for London that crashed last week with 242 people on board, seconds after taking off from Ahmedabad.

At least 92 people who died in the Air India Ahmedabad-London plane crash have been identified through DNA testing, while authorities handed over the bodies of 47 victims to their families.

Critics of Boeing have long expressed criticisms of the 787 Dreamliner and the company's standards.

At least four separate flights encountered technical issues or emergencies within days of the Ahmedabad Air India crash, forcing sudden flight diversions and raising fresh concerns.

The harrowing incident saw the London-bound Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner plunge into a residential area in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, killing 241 passengers on board and another 38 people on the ground. Now, commercial airline pilot and crash analyst Steve Schreiber has pointed to fresh footage as a key breakthrough in understanding what went wrong.

Indian authorities have started handing over remains of the victims of one of India's worst aviation disasters after identifying some through DNA tests.
