In India, Air India has taken the precautionary measure of grounding one of its Boeing Dreamliner planes following a report from the pilot about a fuel control switch problem. The airline, owned by the Tata Group and Singapore Airlines, is prioritizing passenger safety highly amid heightened attention after a devastating Dreamliner crash in June last year that caused 260 fatalities.
The airline has not disclosed more details about the specific technical fault but has confirmed that the grounding is a precautionary step. Ongoing investigations aim to identify and rectify the fuel control switch issue before the aircraft is cleared to resume operations.
This incident contributes to the challenges Air India faces in restoring public trust and enhancing safety protocols after last year’s tragedy. The airline is collaborating thoroughly with regulators and technical experts to avert similar issues in the future.
Passengers planning to travel with Air India are advised to:
- Check their flight status directly with the airline
- Stay updated on any possible schedule changes or disruptions
