Air India flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 carrying 242 people, crashed after taking off from Ahmedabad on its way to London.

India’s aviation regulator DGCA has mandated enhanced safety inspections for Air India’s entire Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 fleet.

Whatever the official cause of the deadly Air India plane crash, both the Modi government and Boeing are more focused on safeguarding corporate interests than upholding passenger safety.

The recent Ahmedabad plane crash involved an Air India Boeing flight, resulting in over 200 fatalities. As investigations continue, the incident underscores Boeing's troubled history with safety.

A day after the deadly Air India plane crash in Gujarat's Ahmedabad which killed more than 240 people, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation issued directives regarding the use of Boeing engine models 787-8 and 787-9 in aircrafts.

The Air India plane crash on Thursday is putting a renewed spotlight on Boeing, the manufacturer of the 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft that crashed in Ahmedabad.

Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg and head of commercial airplanes Stephanie Pope will not attend the Paris Air Show, an industry trade event that kicks off in France Monday.

It could take months to fully understand what went wrong in the crash, the first involving a Dreamliner. Officials from India continued the investigation Friday.

The investigation into Air India flight 171 crash opens up questions into the many concerns surrounding Boeing's 787.

A Boeing 787 crashed shortly after takeoff in Ahmedabad, India. The aircraft, operated by Air India, was bound for London.
