India to Monitor Boeing Fuel Switch Test Tied to Air India London Incident, Documents Show The recent developments in the Air India London incident have brought to light a complex web of testing and regulatory scrutiny surrounding the fuel control switch panel on Boeing Dreamliners.
Indian air safety officials plan to travel to Seattle to observe Boeing's re testing of this critical component, which has been at the center of two high profile incidents: the 2025 crash that killed 260 people in Gujarat and a February incident in London where pilots reported a possible defect.
The fuel control switch panel has been under scrutiny since the preliminary report into the 2025 crash found that it had been shut off nearly simultaneously, starving the engines of fuel.
