No issue found with fuel control switch locking: Air India
Mint Hyderabad
|July 23, 2025
Air India Ltd on Tuesday said it found no issues with the fuel control switch locking mechanism, after completing inspections on all its Boeing 787 and 737 aircraft.
The inspections come amid intense scrutiny of the switches following the Air India Flight 171 crash that killed 260 people in June. The preliminary probe report by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) found the aircraft's fuel switches were set from "run" to "cutoff" position during take-off, starving the engines of fuel.
How the switches were set to that position—whether deliberately or otherwise—is now at the centre of the investigation.
Fuel control switches are designed with multiple safety mechanisms, including spring-loaded locking features and metal guards to prevent accidental movement.
