In the wake of the disaster, investigations led to a stark realization: while individual errors contributed to the calamity, underlying systemic inadequacies were primarily responsible. The lack of accountability within the Kazakh cockpit, compounded by obsolete aircraft technology and an outdated airspace infrastructure, exacerbated what was an already perilous situation.
The tragedy prompted significant changes to aviation regulations in India, with the introduction of TCAS becoming a critical measure for all aircraft operating in its airspace. Additionally, the air traffic control systems throughout India underwent modernization, ensuring that similar failures would not repeat themselves.
