In a statement shared on social media platform X, Air India said that nine of its Boeing 787 aircraft have already undergone the required safety checks.

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

A Boeing 787 Dreamliner plane, operated by Air India, crashed in Ahmedabad earlier this week, killing almost everyone on board and many more on the ground. India's aviation watchdog has since ordered the carrier to complete safety checks on its entire Dreamliner fleet.
