India, Feb. 3 -- Air India will be re-inspecting fuel control switches (FCS) of its Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet, HT has learnt. This comes a day after an Air India pilot on Monday reported a defect with the fuel control switch of a Boeing 787-8 plane after operating the flight from London Heathrow to Karnataka's Bengaluru.

Air India on Monday grounded the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners in question after the pilot reported a possible issue with a fuel control switch.

The FCS component has been at the centre of the investigation into the deadly June 12 crash of a Dreamliner aircraft in Gujarat's Ahmedabad last year, a tragedy that killed 241 of the 242 passengers on board.
