India aviation regulators have found no major safety concerns with Air India’s fleet of Boeing Co. 787 jets during ongoing inspections following a crash last week that killed 241 passengers and crew.
Officials say at least 270 bodies have been recovered, while the lone surviving passenger is still under observation for some of his injuries.
The DGCA on Tuesday held a “high-level” meeting with top brass of Air India and its subsidiary airline Air India Express to review “operational robustness of the airlines and ensure continued compliance with safety and passenger service regulations”.
