“Major airlines across the world have started checking the locking mechanism in the fuel switches of Boeing 787 aircraft following the initial findings in the investigation of an Air India aircraft which crashed last month. According to engineering work instructions reviewed by ET, Etihad Airways has asked their engineers to inspect the locking mechanism of the fuel control switches in the B787 aircraft. People aware of the development said that Singapore Airlines have also started the process. This is despite the Federal Aviation Administration and Boeing telling operators of the plane that the fuel switch locks on Boeing planes are safe. … Fuel control switches for the engines of an Air India flight that crashed last month were moved from the ‘run’ to the “cutoff” position moments before impact, starving both engines of fuel, a preliminary investigation report said early Saturday.” (07/14/25)
