India's government is currently conducting inspections on all Boeing 787 aircraft after a tragic Air India crash that resulted in the loss of at least 270 lives. The aviation minister mentioned that authorities are exploring all potential causes of the incident.

The aviation regulator has instructed Air India to perform additional maintenance checks on its Boeing 787-8/9 planes with GEnx engines. These checks include assessments of take-off parameters, electronic engine control tests, and engine fuel-related inspections.

During a media briefing in New Delhi, aviation minister Ram Mohan Naidu stated, 'We have also ordered extended surveillance of the 787 planes in our Indian fleet, which consists of 34 aircraft. Eight have already undergone inspections, and the rest will be completed urgently.'

Air India operates 33 Boeing 787s, while IndiGo, a rival airline, has one in its fleet. Despite the ongoing inspections, the aircraft have not been grounded. However, there is a possibility that the Indian government may consider this as an option, according to a source.

Naidu also mentioned that the government will thoroughly investigate all potential theories to determine the cause of the crash.
