The investigation into the Air India AI-171 crash that claimed 270 lives is examining the safety of the Boeing Dreamliner’s fuel switches. A key focus is a mandatory safety notice issued by the United Kingdom’s Civil Aviation Authority on May 15, just four weeks before the tragedy. The notice mandated daily inspections of fuel shut-off valves for several Boeing models, including the 787 used for the flight. The probe is scrutinizing why Air India may not have actioned this, especially as the flight was bound for the UK. The central question is, "Timely fuel switch check could have saved 270 lives is the question that we’re asking." This comes as Air India had previously cited the non-mandatory nature of a 2018 US FAA bulletin on a similar issue for not conducting inspections.
