Air India's fleet now includes 33 Boeing 787 Dreamliners.

Air India on Monday confirmed it has grounded one of its Boeing 787-8s after a pilot reported a possible defect with the fuel control system. In a company statement, a spokesperson confirmed that it has informed both India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation and Boeing of the issue.

The statement added that the carrier has recently conducted checks on fuel control switches in all of its Dreamliner widebodies following the June 2025 fatal accident after takeoff from Ahmedabad. “No issues were found during those inspections,” the company said.
