Boeing 787 Under Fresh Scrutiny | DGCA To Inspect Fuel Switch System

Fresh concerns have emerged around Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner aircraft as Indian aviation safety officials plan to travel to Seattle to observe testing of a fuel control switch panel linked to an Air India aircraft. According to reports, pilots on an Air India London-Bengaluru flight had earlier flagged a possible defect in the fuel switch system, raising fresh questions over aircraft safety. The development comes at a crucial time, with investigators preparing the final report into the devastating Air India Boeing 787 crash in Gujarat last year that killed over 260 people. The fuel switches, which regulate fuel flow to aircraft engines, were also a major focus in the earlier crash investigation. The latest revelations have once again put Boeing Dreamliners under intense global scrutiny.
