Air India grounds Boeing 787 after switch issue
India
Air India grounded one of its Boeing 787-8 jets on February 2, 2026 after the pilot noticed a left engine fuel control switch wasn't working right—it kept slipping from "RUN" to "CUTOFF" during startup for a Bengaluru flight.
Thankfully, the plane landed safely, and aviation authorities were told right away.
Investigation on into matter
Air India and Boeing are digging into what went wrong, with the airline saying they're checking things out "on priority."
This isn't just a random tech hiccup—it's a reminder that even small glitches can be serious in aviation, so regular checks and fast action really matter.
