NEW DELHI, May 19 (Reuters) – Britain’s civil aviation
regulator said on Tuesday it was closely monitoring Air India’s
compliance with its processes, months after the authority asked
the airline to explain how a Boeing Dreamliner jet took off from
London with a possibly faulty fuel switch.
The statement was in response to queries on a Reuters report
that said Indian air safety officials plan to travel to Seattle
to observe Boeing’s testing of the fuel switch panel.
“We are continuing our review as part of our ongoing
regulatory process in accordance with Third Country Operator
regulations,” the UK Civil Aviation Authority said.
“The UK Civil Aviation Authority is closely monitoring Air
India’s adherence to its processes,” it added.
