Air India to reinspect fuel switches of Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet

The FCS component has been at the centre of the investigation into the deadly June 12 crash of a



Dreamliner aircraft in Gujarat's Ahmedabad last year, a tragedy that killed 241 of the 242 passengers on board.

Air India said in a statement it had informed the regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), about the issue.

“We are aware that one of our pilots has reported a possible defect on the fuel control switch of a Boeing 787-8 aircraft. After receiving this initial information, we have grounded the said aircraft and are involving the OEM (original equipment manufacturer ) to get the pilot’s concerns checked on a priority basis,”
