Air India’s inspection of the locking feature on the fuel control switches of its existing Boeing 787 aircraft found no issues, an internal communication circulated within the airline says. The switches have come under scrutiny since last month’s crash of an Air India jet,

The report and India’s inspection order referred to an advisory from the Federal Aviation Administration in 2018 that recommended that carriers using Boeing models, including the 787, inspect the locking mechanism of the fuel control switches to ensure they could not be moved accidentally.

The sudden movement of engine fuel switches has taken centre stage in the investigation of the Air India Boeing Dreamliner crash that killed 260 people in June, the world's worst aviation disaster in a decade.
