International airlines are preparing to inspect their Boeing fleets after a preliminary investigation into last month’s fatal Air India crash identified flaws linked to the plane’s fuel cutoff switches.
The engines of Air India’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner — which caused the world's deadliest aviation accident in a decade with 260 deaths — were starved of fuel when cutoff switches suddenly flipped mid-flight, according to a preliminary report released Saturday by India's aircraft investigators. The Air India plane crashed on June 12 after taking off from Ahmedabad airport, leaving one British national as the sole survivor.
The crash has renewed scrutiny over the design and placement of critical fuel cutoff switches, prompting South Korea to launch examinations across its airlines' Boeing fleets, a South Korean Ministry of Transport spokesperson confirmed to FOX Business on Monday. Air India Group has also begun checking its Boeing aircraft for similar issues, according to Reuters.
