After India’s crash probe revealed that both fuel switches on the Boeing 787 flipped to “cutoff” shortly after takeoff, raising questions about equipment failure, US FAA and Boeing have assured that the aircraft’s fuel switch locking system is safe and doesn’t require regulatory action.

The US Federal Aviation Administration has issued a notice to its international counterparts that fuel control switches in Boeing aeroplanes like the Dreamliner involved in last month’s fatal Air India crash do not pose a safety issue.

The probe into last month's crash of an Air India plane in Ahmedabad is far from over and it is unwise to jump to any premature conclusions, airline CEO Campbell Wilson said in an internal memo on Monday (July 14) after the release of a preliminary report by investigators.
