India’s civil aviation regulator said it found no major safety lapses in Air India’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet, following enhanced surveillance prompted by a recent crash that killed at least 271 people, Economic Times reported.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said in a statement that the aircraft and their associated maintenance systems were compliant with prevailing safety norms.

According to Economic Times, the DGCA conducted an operational review of Air India’s wide-body fleet, with a specific focus on Boeing 787 aircraft. Out of the airline’s 33 Dreamliners, 24 have completed the enhanced safety inspections mandated by the regulator.

In a meeting with Air India’s senior management, the DGCA raised concerns over certain recent maintenance-related issues flagged by the airline. While the overall fleet was deemed airworthy, the regulator advised the carrier to improve coordination between its engineering, operations, and ground-handling teams. It also called on the Tata Group-owned airline to ensure sufficient spare part availability to minimise disruptions and passenger delays.

The DGCA also confirmed that Air India has cancelled 66 Boeing 787-operated flights between June 12 and June 17, a detail also highlighted in Economic Times.

The safety review follows the fatal crash of a London-bound Air India flight from Ahmedabad, which went down moments after take-off. The accident killed nearly everyone on board, along with dozens on the ground. The cause remains under investigation, but the DGCA’s initial inspection of the remaining fleet has not uncovered systemic safety failures, Economic Times reported.
