Fatal Air India Crash Sparks Scrutiny Of Aircraft's Troubling History
A US-based aviation safety advocacy group, the Foundation for Aviation Safety, has raised concerns about the safety record of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner involved in last year’s fatal Air India crash. The group alleges the aircraft had a long history of technical problems, including electrical and systems failures, which will now be examined by a US congressional committee. The investigation into the crash is led by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, with participation from US authorities. The claims have added pressure to the inquiry, which is already under intense scrutiny. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
