India, Oct. 10 -- The Federation of Indian Pilots has written a letter to the ministry of civil aviation, asking for the "grounding" of the entire Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet operated by Air India.

"After the crash of AI-171 there have been many failures on the Air India aircraft. The safety of air travel is being compromised by not investigating the causes of failures on B-787's in the country. We once again appeal to the Hon'ble Minister to now ground all the B-787's of Air India and these aircrafts be thoroughly checked especially the Electrical Systems," Federation of Indian Pilots said in a letter to the ministry of civil aviation.
