A preliminary report into the deadly crash of an Air India jetliner in June is expected to be released tomorrow, three sources with knowledge of the matter said, with one adding the probe had narrowed its focus to the movement of the plane’s fuel control switches.

The London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which started losing height after reaching an altitude of 198m, crashed moments after takeoff from Ahmedabad, India, killing 241 of the 242 people on board.
