The Foundation for Aviation Safety (FAS), a US-based group, alleges a Boeing 787 that crashed in Ahmedabad had technical faults since its first day in service.
FAS submitted a presentation to the US Senate on January 12, 2026.
The presentation reportedly contained records detailing system failures in the specific Air India aircraft from the beginning of its operational life.
These allegations question the aircraft's safety history and manufacturing quality. US Senate involvement suggests the matter will attract high-level regulatory and political scrutiny, posing a new challenge for Boeing regarding the reliability of its Dreamliner fleet.
