Air India says in process of completing one-time Boeing 787 safety checks

New Delhi: Air India on Saturday said it is in the process of completing the one-time safety inspections, as mandated by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), for its Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet. This move comes in the wake of the tragic crash of a London-bound Air India flight (AI 171) from Ahmedabad. In a statement shared on social media platform X, Air India said that nine of its Boeing 787 aircraft have already undergone the required safety checks. 'Air India is in the process of completing the one-time safety checks directed by the Indian aviation regulator, DGCA. These checks are being carried out on the Boeing 787 fleet as they return to India, before being cleared for their next operations,' the airline said. 'Air India has completed such checks on nine of the Boeing 787 aircraft and are on track to complete this process for the remaining 24 aircraft within the timeline provided by the regulator,' it added. The airline added that it is on track to complete inspections for the remaining aircraft within the timeline specified by the regulator. These checks are being conducted as the aircraft return to India and must be completed before the planes are cleared for their next flights. However, the airline also emphasised that the additional checks may lead to longer turnaround times and could cause delays, especially on long-haul international routes that operate under strict airport curfews. Passengers are being advised to check their flight status before leaving for the airport. The airline is offering refunds or complimentary rescheduling to customers affected by delays or cancellations caused by these safety inspections. The DGCA had ordered enhanced inspections on Air India's entire fleet of Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 aircraft equipped with Genx engines following Thursday's deadly crash in Ahmedabad. The directive includes a range of preventive maintenance measures such as inspections of fuel systems, cabin air compressors, hydraulic systems, and flight control systems, along with engine-related tests. The checks must begin with effect from June 15 and compliance reports are to be submitted to the DGCA. Investigations into the cause of the crash are ongoing. Meanwhile, as part of its commitment to support the victims' families, Tata Sons has reiterated that it will provide Rs 1 crore in compensation to the families of each individual who lost their life in the crash -- including passengers, crew members, and those on the ground. A Tata Sons spokesperson added that the group will also cover the full medical expenses of all those injured in the incident, ensuring necessary care and long-term support.

Air India CEO Campbell Wilson issues third statement in 48 hours after plane crash: ‘Our teams working closely…'

Air India Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Campbell Wilson on Saturday released his third statement after the tragic plane crash in Ahmedabad on June 12, and said that their teams are working closely with the families and authorities to help the reunification process. In a video statement, Campbell announced that Air India will make an interim payment of ₹ 25 lakh to each of the deceased's families and to the survivor, in addition to ₹ 1 crore already announced by Tata Sons. He further stated that over 200 trained caregivers are in Ahmedabad, and each family has been assigned dedicated assistance. The Air India CEO also mentioned that the airliner is in the process of completing a precautionary safety check of Boeing 787 aircraft, as directed by the DGCA. He assured Air India would complete all checks within the timelines prescribed by the DGCA. Yesterday I shared that Air India's technical and customer support team had assembled in Ahmedabad. Over 200 trained caregivers are now in place, with each family assigned dedicated assistance, along with access to counselling and other services. We will continue to help and support the families however, we can. I also updated on my visit to Ahmedabad, where I visited the crash site and met with some of the families of the deceased. This followed a visit, a day earlier, by Tata Sons and Air India Chairman, Mr. N. Chandrasekaran and other members of the Air India management team are now in the city and will remain present for as long as it takes. To provide immediate financial support, Air India will be making an interim payment of 25 lakh rupees, or approximately 21,000 GBP to each of the families of the deceased and also to the survivor. This is in addition to the 1 crore rupees, or approximately 85,000 GBP already committed by Tata Sons. The process of reuniting next of kin with their loved ones and personal effects has begun. Our teams are working closely with the families and authorities to help the reunification process, and where appropriate, with repatriation. This is an emotional process and we ask that families be given space. Air India is also in the process of completing precautionary safety checks on Boeing 787 aircraft, as directed by our regulator, the DGCA. We will complete all checks within the timelines prescribed by the regulator. As has been confirmed by the authorities, the aircraft's data recorder has been recovered, which will form part of the official investigation, and Air India continues to fully cooperate with these investigations. At this juncture, I also wish to acknowledge the work done by first responders and those from many organisations since the accident, and also to our crew, who continue to operate with professionalism and with safety always as their primary responsibility.
