Air India and the Indian government are also looking at several aspects of the crash, including issues linked to its engine thrust, flaps, and why the landing gear remained open as the plane took off.

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.
