On April 30, an American aircraft manufacturer emphasized the success of the Dreamliner series in a press release and noted that its 1,175 aircraft had transferred 1 billion passengers in 14 years, a record that breaks any other commercial aircraft in history.
“Flying over 1 billion passengers in this relatively short time is a testimony to how the aircraft provided its promises to transform air transport with operational versatility, efficiency and comfort,” said Scott Stocker, vice president and CEO of Boeing 787.
Airlines using the Dreamliner series appreciated the aircraft for their significantly improved fuel efficiency. Family 787 is 25% more efficient fuels than the aircraft that replaces, largely thanks to new engines, expanded use of light composite materials, more efficient system applications and modern aerodynamics, Boeing said in a statement of 30 April.
Certainly, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner has experienced operating problems in the past. These aircraft faced significant batteries in 2013, leading to the world -wide fleet. These problems were based on lithium-ion batteries used in the auxiliary energy unit of the aircraft (APU), which were susceptible to thermal escape and fire. In the end, the problems resulted in the dreamliner fleet, while the US Federal Air Administration (FAA) and the National Transport Safety Council (NTSB) examined the design and production of batteries.

Air India also founded its aircraft and subsequently made the necessary changes before it flies again. The aircraft has had no problems since then. However, according to the Aviation Safety Network database, however, the first crash on Thursday is reported in the Dreamliner Boeing 787 series. In April 2024, FAA announced that it was investigating the demands of engineer Boeing, who claimed that parts of the Dreamliner 787 were incorrectly attached. It is worrying that the engineer told the air regulatory body that the hull could divide in the middle of the flight. Boeing refused to claim the former engineer.
Aviation consultant John M. Cox, CEO of Security Operational Systems, said the Associated Press that while the initial images of Thursday’s accident were poor, he seemed to show an aircraft with nose up and not climb, one of the factors that investigators would explore. “At the moment it is very, very, very soon, we do not know much,” Cox said. “But the 787 has a very extensive monitoring of flight data-parameters on the flight recorder are in thousands of two-as soon as we get the recorder, they will be able to know quite quickly what happened.”
Thursday’s accident comes after Boeing agreed last month to pay $ 1.1 billion in an agreement with the US Department of Justice to avoid prosecution in two accidents that killed 346 people together. The two main accidents that resulted in Boeing’s disorders, specifically the Max 737, appeared in Indonesia and Ethiopia in 2018 and 2019. The Boeing 737 Max was grounded almost a year before the start. For Boeing, the last accident is bad news coming just a week before the Paris air show, where she could book fresh orders. His shares were traded on Thursday by almost 6% lower in market stores.

“With deep grief, I confirm that the Air India, AI 171 operating Ahmedabad London Gatwick was involved in a tragic accident today,” said Natarajan Chandrasecaran, chairman of Tata Sons, in a prepared statement. Chandrasecaran, who is also chairman of Air India, added: “At the moment, it is the primary focus to support all affected people and their families. We do everything in our power to help teams to emergency situations and provide all necessary support and care to those who have been affected.”
“We are deeply saddened by a tragic accident concerning Air India 171 on its way from Ahmedabad to London. This heart incident brought countless families and our ideas are with all those who have lost their loved ones today,” said Noel Tata, chairman of Tata Trusts, philanthropic In his statement responding to the Boeing crash, he said, “We are aware of the initial news and we are working on collecting more information.”
“FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) is in contact with NTSB (National Transport Safety Council) in terms of AIL India AI171, which operates from Ahmedabad (AMD) to London Gatwick (LGW), which participated on Thursday 12th June,” FAA said on Thursday. “When an international incident occurs, this government is conducting an investigation. If assistance is required, NTSB is an official US and FAA representative provides technical support. We are ready to immediately launch a team in coordination with NTSB.” For the time being, there is no certainty whether the Indian Civil Aviation Directorate (DGCA) deposits the rest of the Dreamliners aircraft (DGCA).

“It is a very successful aircraft, it is probably the first main problem at 787, it will not affect the company’s prospects. DGCA will not be stored for the rest of the fleet, if so, it would be a thoughtless act,” said Captain Mohan Ranganathan, former airline pilot.
Since April 14, 2025, the Air India fleet includes 198 aircraft. This includes 34 Dreamliners, including 27 Boeing 787-8s and 7 Boeing 787-9s. Boeing has a robust order book for Dreamliner, including 20 from Air India, the first of which is due by the end of this year.
