08:05 AM EDT, 06/16/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Boeing ( BA ) 787 aircraft being operated by airlines in India are undergoing safety inspections as ordered by the country's civil aviation regulator following an Air India crash that killed 270 people, according to a government statement Saturday, citing the regulator.

Eight Boeing 787 Dreamliners out of 34 Dreamliners operating across Indian carriers have already been inspected, while the remaining aircraft are "being checked on an urgent basis," aviation regulator DGCA said, according to the statement.

The agency has also ordered Air India to immediately conduct technical inspections of all Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 with GEnx engines, while strengthening airworthiness procedures for all wide-body aircraft that are currently in service in the country, the statement added.

Separately, Air India said it has completed one-time safety checks on nine Boeing 787s and was on track to complete inspection of the remaining 24 aircraft within the timeline set by the regulator. The airline said the checks are being conducted before an aircraft is cleared for its next flight.

Air India operates 33 Boeing 787s, while its competitor IndiGo only has one, data from Flightradar24 shows.

Boeing ( BA ) did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment on the matter.
