Boeing Fuel Switches Safe, Says FAA After Air India Crash

Following the preliminary report into the June 12 Air India Flight 171 crash, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Boeing have reassured airlines and global regulators that the design of the fuel control switch locks on Boeing aircraft—including the 787 involved—is not a safety hazard and does not require an airworthiness directive at this time. Key Points Both engines temporarily lost thrust after the fuel-control switches were moved from “RUN” to “CUTOFF”, triggering the crash investigation. The switches include a spring-lock mechanism and guard—FAA and Boeing affirm the design is safe and not defective. A 2018 FAA advisory instructed airlines to inspect these switches, but it was not mandatory, and Boeing has told airlines no additional action is required. Stakeholder Response Despite industry reassurance, India and South Korea have started their own inspections of fuel switch locks, referencing the AAIB’s […]

Families Demand Answers After Fuel Switches Cut Off Before Air India Crash

Following the tragic crash of Air India Flight AI171 on June 12, 2025, preliminary findings from India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) have revealed that both engine fuel-control switches were manually switched to “cut-off” seconds after takeoff—cutting off fuel supply and causing loss of thrust. Victims’ families, devastated by the loss of 260 lives onboard and on the ground, are now demanding transparent answers, seeking clarity on whether this action was accidental, deliberate, or the result of software misconfiguration. What the Report Found Both fuel switches moved from RUN to CUTOFF in rapid succession moments after liftoff; cockpit audio captured one pilot questioning the other— “Why did you cut it off?”—while the other responded, “I didn't do it”. These switches are designed to be positive-lock out guarded, making accidental activation highly unlikely . Families’ Reaction & Demands Relatives criticize the […]
