The company reassured that it anticipates no disruption to its regular operations or future deliveries and is fully cooperating with the investigation into the crash. HAL further stated, ‘We would like to bring to your attention that the recent incident during the aerial display at the Dubai Air Show is an isolated occurrence arising out of exceptional circumstances.’ Following the crash, HAL’s shares saw a decline in the stock market.
