Boeing found no abnormality in the Dreamliner fuel-control switch mechanism examined after an Air India London-Bengaluru incident. DGCA says pilot handling moved the switch to cut-off and has asked Air India to circulate Boeing operating procedures while further module inspection continues.

Why this matters

The finding follows reports that India ruled out a fuel-switch defect in the AI-171 crash probe and that the Centre set no timeline for the final AI-171 report, extending scrutiny of Air India’s Dreamliner safety procedures.
