Air India faces fresh turbulence following last week’s fatal crash as additional safety inspections on its Dreamliner fleet lead to flight delays, cancellations and growing passenger anxiety.

Air India flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 carrying 242 people, crashed after taking off from Ahmedabad on its way to London.

DGCA has said that the pilot and co-pilot of the plane had sent out a Mayday call after takeoff. However, the ATC could not establish contact with the plane after that.
