The review was conducted following a direct order issued by India\u2019s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Tragedy That Intensified International Scrutiny<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The trigger for this measure was last month\u2019s accident, when an Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner bound for London experienced a critical loss of power shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad. According to the preliminary report released last week, the fuel switches moved almost simultaneously from the operational position to &#8220;cutoff,&#8221; causing a loss of thrust and the subsequent crash of the aircraft. The accident claimed the lives of 260 people, making it the deadliest aviation disaster worldwide in the past decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2025\/07\/air-india-to-resume-flight-schedule-in-august-after-reduction-due-to-tragic-accident.html\">Air India to Resume Flight Schedule in August After Reduction Due to Tragic Accident<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inspection Order Extended to Multiple Boeing Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>India\u2019s aviation regulator, the DGCA, issued the inspection order for several Boeing models, including the 787 and 737, requiring domestic airlines to examine the fuel switch locks. The decision came after multiple carriers, both Indian and international, began conducting their own safety checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">International Response: South Korea Joins In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The day after India\u2019s announcement, South Korea also instructed its airlines to perform similar inspections, further increasing pressure on Boeing as authorities worldwide seek clarity on the functionality and safety of these systems in commercial aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div
