On this Special Report, the focus is on Air India’s decision to initiate a comprehensive inspection of its Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet following a reported fuel control switch defect. The issue was flagged by a pilot after an Air India flight from London landed in Bengaluru, leading to the immediate grounding of the aircraft. The transcript notes that ‘inspections of half the fleet have been completed already with no glitches found so far, but inspections of the remaining aircraft of Air India are still underway.’ The airline has escalated the matter to Boeing for priority evaluation and informed the DGCA. This incident has raised significant safety concerns, drawing parallels to a fatal Boeing 787 crash in Ahmedabad in June last year that killed 260 people. The Pilots Association has previously warned about fuel control switch malfunctions, describing the latest defect as a serious safety red flag. Boeing has stated it is cooperating with the review as the engineering department continues its security sweep of the remaining fleet.
