Air India on Wednesday said it has completed a precautionary inspection of the fuel control switch (FCS) locking mechanism in its Boeing 787 aircraft, and found no issues, following aviation regulator DGCA’s directive issued earlier this week. The checks were prompted by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) report into last month’s Air India Boeing 787-8 crash that killed 260 people. The preliminary findings suggested that fuel supply to both engines was cut off within one second of each other shortly after takeoff, raising concerns over potential system or procedural failures.
