Following a fatal Air India Dreamliner crash last week in Ahmedabad, India, killing at least 270, the aviation regulator mandated additional safety inspections on the airline's Boeing 787 fleet. This has caused widespread flight delays and cancellations, impacting both domestic and international routes. While initial inspections found no major safety concerns, the regulator noted maintenance issues and urged Air India to improve internal coordination and spare parts availability. Despite the setback, Air India executives remain optimistic about the airline's long-term growth prospects.
