Air India’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet has come under renewed scrutiny as aviation authorities take a closer look at the airline’s maintenance and safety protocols. The move follows a series of recent technical issues reported by flight crews, prompting the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to initiate a comprehensive inspection.

According to sources, the DGCA’s latest review will focus on aircraft maintenance records, safety checks, and compliance with international aviation standards. While Air India has maintained that all its aircraft undergo regular inspections and adhere to global safety norms, the increased oversight highlights growing concerns over the reliability of certain aircraft components.

A senior Air India official stated that the airline is “fully cooperating with the DGCA” and assured that “passenger safety remains the top priority.” The airline has reportedly taken preventive measures, including additional checks on its Boeing 787 fleet to ensure all systems are functioning optimally.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner, known for its fuel efficiency and long-haul capability, has faced sporadic technical challenges globally, from electrical system issues to cabin pressure malfunctions. Experts say that while such reviews are routine in the aviation industry, they serve as an essential reminder of the importance of maintenance vigilance, especially for aircraft with high operational hours.

Industry analysts believe the review will help restore passenger confidence and reinforce Air India’s commitment to safety, particularly as the airline continues to expand its international network under the Tata Group’s management.

As India’s aviation sector experiences rapid growth, ensuring strict safety compliance remains a shared responsibility between airlines and regulators — one that directly influences the country’s global aviation reputation.
