UK demands explanation from Air India over fuel switch incident, warns of regulatory action
Britain’s aviation authority has demanded an explanation from Air India over how a Boeing Dreamliner passenger aircraft, which was grounded in India for safety checks, departed London on Sunday despite concerns about a potentially faulty fuel switch and warned of a possible regulatory action, a letter reportedly says.
An Air India pilot reported a fault in the fuel control switch of a Boeing 787-8 aircraft on February 2 after operating the AI132 flight. The airline grounded the plane for inspection after it landed in Bengaluru later that day.
