Air India Reports No Fuel Switch Issues on Other Boeing Planes After Crash

Air India has confirmed that there were no issues with the fuel switches on its other Boeing planes following the fatal crash that claimed 260 lives last month. A preliminary report revealed that the fuel switches controlling the engines were turned off one by one after takeoff, leading to engine failure and the subsequent crash. The report did not recommend any action against Boeing, but Air India conducted inspections on the fuel control switches as a precautionary measure, with no issues found.

US officials are now focusing on the actions of the plane's captain, Sumeet Sabharwal, who is believed to have moved the fuel switches. The black-box recording suggested that the first officer was flying the plane during takeoff and questioned the captain's actions. The investigation is ongoing, and it is unclear whether the incident was deliberate or accidental.

Relatives of the victims have expressed frustration over the preliminary report, which lacked specific details. Air India's CEO emphasized the need to avoid premature conclusions as the investigation continues.
