In the wake of the tragic crash of AI-171—a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner that exploded into flames moments after take-off from Ahmedabad—Air India has cancelled six international Dreamliner services on Tuesday. The cancellations, involving the same aircraft model, come amid heightened scrutiny of Boeing's flagship 787 series.

Over the years, numerous improvements in aircraft design, maintenance and operational procedures have resulted from crash investigations. Each incident, especially a fatal one such as the Air India Boeing 787 crash, offers valuable lessons that can drive further enhancements in aviation safety.

Air India cancelled 6 international flights due to various reasons including 'operational issues'. The cancelled flights include AI 915 (Delhi-Dubai), AI 153 (Delhi-Vienna), AI 143 (Delhi-Paris), AI179 (Mumbai-San Francisco), AI 133 (Bengaluru-London) and AI 170 (London-Amritsar). Air India operates B 787-8 Dreamliners to the UK and Europe.

Gujarat Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi on Monday confirmed that DNA samples of 125 victims in the Air India plane crash had been successfully matched, and families of 124 deceased had been contacted.
