An Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner operating flight AI132 from London Heathrow to Bengaluru was grounded after a pilot reported that the left engine’s fuel control switch failed to remain in the “RUN” position during engine start-up, twice moving to “CUTOFF”. An Air India spokesperson confirmed that the aircraft had been withdrawn from service and that the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) was being involved to assess the pilot’s concerns on a priority basis. The matter was also reported to the aviation regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. NDTV’s Shubh Bhardwaj brings you the details.
