In a recent announcement, Air India CEO Campbell Wilson emphasized that the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, involved in the crash, underwent comprehensive maintenance. The last major check was completed in June 2023, with subsequent inspections planned for December 2025.
Wilson assured passengers that the reduction of Air India's widebody fleet operations by 15% is a temporary adjustment. This measure is intended to ensure aviation safety and operational efficiency.
Both engines of the Dreamliner were thoroughly inspected earlier in 2025, and regular monitoring revealed no prior issues before its last flight, underscoring the aircraft's robust maintenance regime.
