Air India CEO asserts crashed Boeing plane was well-maintained
After the tragic Ahmedabad crash on June 12, Air India's CEO, Campbell Wilson, assured that the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner involved had passed all major checks.
The plane was last overhauled in June 2023, with both engines inspected earlier this year and no issues reported before takeoff.
Air India is enhancing pre-flight safety checks
In response to the accident—which claimed 270 lives—Air India has ramped up safety protocols.
Air India is enhancing pre-flight safety checks on its Boeing 787 and 777 fleet, and pre-flight checks are being tightened across their long-haul fleet.
Air India cuts back its international wide-body flights
To keep things running safely, Air India is cutting back its international wide-body flights by 15% from June 20 to mid-July.
This gives them more backup planes and helps maintain strict safety standards while they work with authorities to find out what really happened.
