June 17 (Reuters) - India's aviation safety watchdog

said on Tuesday surveillance conducted on Air India's Boeing

787 fleet did not reveal any major safety concerns, days

after one of its jets crashed, killing at least 271 people.

"The aircraft and associated maintenance systems were found

to be compliant with existing safety standards," the Directorate

General of Civil Aviation said in a statement.

The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner bound for London with 242 people on

board crashed seconds after take-off in Ahmedabad on Thursday

hitting nearby buildings. All but one passenger on board was

killed, along with about 30 people on the ground.

The DGCA also said 24 of Air India's 33 Boeing 787 aircraft

had completed an "enhanced safety inspection" it had ordered the

airline to carry out.

The regulator, in a meeting with senior officials of Air

India, raised concerns about recent maintenance-related issues

reported by the airline.

It advised the carrier to "strictly adhere to regulations",

strengthen coordination across its businesses and ensure

availability of adequate spares to mitigate passenger delays, it

added.

The DGCA had met senior officials of Air India and Air India

Express to review their operations amid increasing flight

volumes.
