Air India Probe Of Boeing 787 Fuel Control Switches Finds No Issues
The switches have come under scrutiny following last month's crash of an Air India jet, which killed 260 people, after a preliminary probe by Indian investigators found that they had flipped from the run position to cutoff shortly after takeoff.
India's aviation regulator ordered the country's airlines this week to investigate the locking feature on the switches of several Boeing models.
The order came after Boeing notified operators that the fuel switch locks on its jets were safe.
However, it was in line with a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) issued by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 2018, which recommended inspection of the locks to ensure they could not be moved accidentally.
Air India's probe found no problems with the locking mechanism.
"Over the weekend, our Engineering team initiated precautionary inspections on the locking mechanism of Fuel Control Switch (FCS) on all our Boeing 787 aircraft," the airline's flight operations department said in a communication to its pilots.
"The inspections have been completed and no issues were found," the communication said, noting that it had complied with the regulator's directives.
It said all of its Boeing 787-8 aircraft had also undergone "Throttle Control Module (TCM) replacement as per the Boeing maintenance schedule", adding that the FCS was part of this module.
Other countries have also ordered their airlines to examine fuel switches on Boeing aircraft.
Singapore found them all to be "functioning properly".
"Our checks confirmed that all fuel switches on SIA (Singapore Airlines) and Scoot's Boeing 787 aircraft are functioning properly and comply with regulatory requirements," an SIA spokesperson told AFP this week.
The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner that crashed last month was heading from Ahmedabad in western India to London. All but one of the 242 people on board were killed, as well as 19 people on the ground.
A report in the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, which cited unidentified sources, said a cockpit recording of a conversation between the two pilots indicated the captain had cut off fuel to the engines.
India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), which released the preliminary report, said it was still "too early to reach any definite conclusions".
It said the investigation's final report would come out with "root causes and recommendations".
"We urge the public and the media to refrain from spreading premature narratives that risk undermining the integrity of the investigative process," it said in a statement.

Trump tariffs send shock waves through global economy – DW – 08/01/2025
Markets were down and some trade allies reacted with shock over US President Donald Trump's latest tariffs salvo. DW has the Swiss government said Friday it would negotiate with the United States to try to avoid the tough 39% US tariff rate that would harm key industries. On Thursday, Trump signalled Swiss imports would be taxed at 39%, higher than the 31% he threatened in April. President Karin Keller-Sutter told Reuters the 39% figure was much higher than expected. "The Federal Council is disappointed," she said. "It is a pity that there is a tariff that is much higher than what we negotiated." Although the pharmaceuticals sector was not included in the tariffs, the increased duties would have a "very bad" effect on the Swiss economy, she said. Pharmaceuticals constituted 60% of Swiss goods exports to the United States, followed by machinery and metalworking at 20% and watches at 8%. Although the pharmaceuticals sector was not affected by the tariffs, the increased duties would be "very bad" for the Swiss economy, Keller-Sutter said. The US is a major trading partner for Switzerland, accounting for 18.6% of its total exports last year, according to Swiss customs data. As other countries deal with the economic effects of negotiating with Donald Trump, the US president's attention is focused at home on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. He urged the Fed's board to "assume control" if Powell does not lower interest rates. "Jerome 'Too Late' Powell, a stubborn MORON, must substantially lower interest rates, NOW. IF HE CONTINUES TO REFUSE, THE BOARD SHOULD ASSUME CONTROL, AND DO WHAT EVERYONE KNOWS HAS TO BE DONE!" Trump wrote on a social media post, using his customary capitalization for emphasis. The Federal Reserve kept rates steady on Wednesday, and Powell said the central bank needed to wait for more data before deciding whether to adjust rates at their next meeting, in September. The rate decision was made by a 9-2 vote, with two Fed governors dissenting for the first time in more than 30 years. Trump nominated Powell to be Fed Chair in 2018, but the president has been escalating his ongoing feud with the central bank head ever since returning to office in January. India is in trade talks with the United States to avoid a 25% tariff on Indian exports announced by President Donald Trump. A US delegation is expected in New Delhi later this month, a source told the Reuters news agency. "We remain focused on the substantive agenda that our two countries have committed to and are confident that the relationship will continue to move forward," India's foreign ministry said in a statement. Analysts warn the tariffs could hit $40 billion in Indian exports and strain ties with the key US ally in Asia. On Wednesday, Trump also threatened to impose more penalties on India due to its trade with Russia and its membership in BRICS, a group of major emerging economies. European stocks fell to a four-week low Friday as investors reacted to sweeping new US tariffs. President Donald Trump announced steep levies on exports from dozens of trading partners, including a 39% tariff on Swiss goods, ahead of a key trade deal deadline. The new rates are set to take effect August 7, but uncertainty remains over what Trump might do next. The pan-European STOXX 600 index dropped 1.3%, with Germany's DAX and Denmark's OMXC also posting sharp losses. Healthcare shares led the decline, falling sharply after Trump urged 17 major pharmaceutical firms to cut US drug prices. Denmark's Novo Nordisk plunged nearly 5%, hitting a four-year low. Meanwhile, the US dollar headed for its strongest weekly performance in nearly three years against other major currencies. A large part of the dollar's strength is due to investor belief that Trump's tariffs have not harmed the US economy so far and have not significantly raised inflation. South Africa is facing 30% tariffs on its US exports, after failing to secure a trade deal before Donald Trump's deadline. The country's automotive industry, which employs 115,000 people, now fears major job losses. DW's Dianne Hawker reports. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Following the announcement that the Trump tariffs will come into effect on August 7, rather than August 1 as previously announced, South Africa has said it will use the coming week to strike a new deal. The African country is currently facing a 30% tariff rate. Central bank governor Lesetja Kganyago has estimated the tariffs could cost 100,000 jobs. "Within the window that's still open, we're hoping that we will find a way to settle this matter," Ramaphosa told journalists. "So intensive negotiations are now under way," he said. "Our task is to negotiate as strongly and as hard as we can with the United States," he said. "Our objective, really, is to save jobs." The US is South Africa's second-biggest trading partner, after China, but Pretoria has said it will seek to boost its export markets, with Ramaphosa saying "it is too risky just to focus on one." The Trump administration has taken a particularly aggressive stance against South Africa since taking office, cutting vital aid and accusing it, without credible evidence, of committing genocide against white farmers.

The Malaysian government welcomed the "positive outcome". "This decision by the United States reflects the strong and enduring economic ties between our two nations," Trade and Industry Minister Zafrul Abdul Aziz said. The Indian government is likely to cancel its defense deal with the US after the Trump administration's decision to levy a higher tariff rate of 25% to Indian exports. According to a Bloomberg report, India has informed the US that it is not keen to buy the F-35 stealth fighter jets, which Donald Trump had proposed to sell to India during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the US in February this year. However, India's decision to cancel the deal has not been confirmed and Delhi has said it is looking to deepen trade talks with Washington as open as possible. Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada is "disappointed" by Trump's decision to go through with the tariff hike. US duties and tariffs will heavily affect lumber, steel, aluminum, and automobiles, Carney said in a statement. To justify the step, the US cited the cross-border flow of the highly addictive and deadly drug fentanyl, even though Canada accounts for just 1% of US fentanyl imports and has been working intensively to further reduce the volumes, Carney added. Carney said his government will diversify Canadian export markets and strengthen domestic investment in order to make "Canada strong." "Canadians will be our own best customer," Carney said, adding that "we can give ourselves more than any foreign government can ever take away by building with Canadian workers and by using Canadian resources to benefit all Canadians." While Japan has welcomed the newly announced reciprocal tariff rates of 15% — down from the threatened 25% — it said that it will continue to discuss levies on auto exports, which were already facing 25% tariffs. As the third-largest auto manufacturer in the world, Japan now wants to know when those duties might be lowered. Japan "will continue to call on the US side promptly to take measures to implement the recent agreement, including reducing tariffs on automobiles and auto parts," government spokesman Yoshimasa Hayashi said Friday. Confusion also surrounds Trump's claim that Japan — as a "signing bonus" — will invest $550 billion (€482 billion) in America, which will recoup 90% of the profits.

The island nation "remains positive" that Sri Lanka and the US can reach a mutually beneficial situation on tariffs, the official told the journalists. He said that he "is hopeful Sri Lanka can maintain regional and international competitiveness with these tariffs." Trump administration's decision to levy 15% tariff on New Zealand, has prompted Trade Minister Todd McClay to seek a meeting with US trade representatives and lobby for lower tariffs. It's an increase from the original 10% baseline announced for New Zealand in April. He said New Zealand seems to have been targeted with a larger tariff because the country records a trade deficit with the US, but that the gap of about half a billion dollars each year was "not significant or meaningful." "We don't think this is a good thing. We don't think it's warranted," McClay told Radio New Zealand Friday. "I am seeking an urgent call with the US Trade Representative to make New Zealand's position clear: this increase risks harming exporters and consumers of both countries," he said in a statement. US firms now face an average tariff of 0.8% when exporting to New Zealand, according to McClay. New Zealand exports about 9 billion New Zealand dollars ($5.3 billion, €4.6 billion) of goods each year to the United States, its second largest market after China, meaning the increase would be "considerable" for exporters, he added. Taiwan President Lai Ching-te said Friday that the new 20% US tariff on goods from the island is a temporary measure and that his government is working to secure a more favorable rate. "The 20% tariff rate was never Taiwan's target to begin with. We will continue negotiations and strive for a rate that's more favourable for Taiwan," Lai told reporters at a press briefing. The tariff was part of a broader executive order signed Thursday by US President Donald Trump, which imposed duties ranging from 10% to 41% on imports from dozens of countries. While the 20% rate for Taiwan is lower than the 32% initially threatened in April, it is higher than the 15% applied to Japan, South Korea, and the European Union. Taiwan recorded the sixth-largest trade surplus with the US last year, exporting about $74 billion more than it imported, according to official figures. The governments of two Southeast Asian countries, Thailand and Cambodia, welcomed the 19% levy Washington announced for them, which are substantially lower than the rates Trump had previously announced. In April, Trump announced "discounted reciprocal tariffs" of 36% on Thai goods and 49% on Cambodian products. "This is the best news for the people and economy of Cambodia to continue to develop the country," Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Manet wrote in a Facebook post. A Thai government spokesperson, meanwhile, called it a "major success." "This finalized deal, setting US import tariffs at 19%, marks a major success for Thailand," Thai government spokesman Jirayu Huangsab said in a statement. "It represents a win-win approach aimed at preserving Thailand's export base and long-term economic stability." The tariff announcement came days after the US president intervened to help broker a ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia following days of heavy border clashes between the two neighbors, which left over 40 people dead and hundreds of thousands displaced.
