NEW DELHI, July 29 (Reuters) – The Indian government said that a detailed examination conducted by Boeing found that there was no abnormality in the fuel control switch of an Air India Boeing 787 after its pilots on a London-Bengaluru flight flagged a possible defect in February.
Further inspection of its complete thrust control module at a Boeing facility is underway, deputy civil aviation minister Murlidhar Mohol said in reply to a question in the upper house of parliament on Monday.
The incident renewed the spotlight on the switches on Boeing Dreamliners that regulate the flow of jet fuel into a plane’s engines after investigation into an Air India 787 crash that killed 260 people in Gujarat in June last year.
