The sole survivor from the Air India crash is so terrified of ever stepping on a plane again that he may never return to the UK.

The 40-year-old, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, was onboard the Boeing 787 bound for Gatwick in June when it crashed seconds after takeoff from Ahmedabad in India.

The tragedy killed 260 people.

He was rushed to hospital with injuries and cuts to his face. 

His wife and four-year-old son flew to India to be at his side but have since returned to the UK, leaving Ramesh behind.

His family says the severity of the trauma has left him unable to fly.

“He simply cannot mentally step on a plane… You can imagine the trauma.”
