New Delhi: Air India has begun inspecting fuel control switches on its 33 Boeing 787 aircraft after grounding a flight over a possible defect, according to a company note seen by AFP on Tuesday.
The checks came as Indian authorities were probing the crash last year of a 787 Dreamliner that killed 260 people shortly after takeoff.
News of the inspection followed Air India's grounding Monday of a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner jet after one of its pilots reported a possible defect in the fuel control switch.
"Following the reported defect... Engineering has escalated the matter to Boeing for priority evaluation," the internal company note said.
India's aviation regulator said incorrect handling of the fuel switch had caused the issue in Monday's flight, and not a mechanical fault.
