After the crash killed over 240 people.
Tragedy struck earlier this week when Flight AI171, bound for London’s Gatwick Airport, crashed less than a minute after takeoff from Ahmedabad, in India’s western state of Gujarat.
There was only one survivor from the 242 on board, and dozens of people on the ground were also killed. According to the New York Times, India’s aviation regulators ordered Air India on Friday to carry out “additional maintenance actions” on its Boeing 787 fleet.
Immediately following the crash, Boeing issued a statement. “We are in contact with Air India regarding Flight 171 and stand ready to support them. Our thoughts are with the passengers, crew, first responders and all affected,” the airplane manufacturer said.
The aviation minister in India said there were 34 Boeing 787s in the country, eight of which had already undergone the new inspections. He said the rest would be inspected “with immediate urgency.”
As India makes a thorough sweep of its fleet, the United States has already made a decision on Boeing 787s in use around the country. Officials from the U.S. determined they have not seen any immediate safety data that would require halting Boeing 787 flights following the accident, according to Reuters.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and acting Federal Aviation Administration head Chris Rocheleau confirmed the news this week. Duffy revealed that an NTSB and FAA team, with support from Boeing and engine manufacturer GE Aerospace, was going to India.
“They have to get on the ground and take a look. But again right now it’d be way too premature,” Duffy said. “People are looking at videos and trying to assess what happened, which is never a strong, smart way to make decisions on what took place.”
While the U.S. isn’t pulling the fleet of Boeing 787s off the line just yet, he made it clear the U.S. government “will not hesitate to implement any safety recommendations that may arise. We will follow the facts and put safety first.”
