|July 15, 2025
This important directive comes days after the AAIB released its 15-page preliminary report
Aviation safety watchdog Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Monday directed airlines to carry out checks on the locking mechanism of fuel control switches of Boeing aircraft in their fleets.
This important directive comes days after the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) released its 15-page preliminary report of the probe into the tragic Air India Boeing Dreamliner crash at Ahmedabad on June 12, in which 260 people were killed.
According to one of the important findings of the report which was released on early Saturday, was that the twin engines of the ill-fated Boeing plane shut down seconds after take-off as the fuel supply was cut off.
