O voo AI 171 da Air India, um Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, caiu em Ahmedabad em 12 de junho de 2025, um minuto após a decolagem, com destino a Londres Gatwick, resultando em 279 mortes (241 a bordo e 38 em solo), marcando o primeiro acidente fatal de um Boeing 787 globalmente. 1 As caixas pretas (FDR e CVR) foram recuperadas para investigação, que conta com colaboração internacional (NTSB, UK AAIB, Boeing, GE) e considera teorias como falha de motor, configurações incorretas de flaps ou trem de pouso não retraído. 7 Em resposta, a DGCA da Índia ordenou "vigilância estendida" e "verificações de segurança únicas" em toda a frota de 34 Boeing 787 da Air India (agora 33 operacionais), focando em sistemas críticos como combustível, hidráulica e controles de voo, com 9 aeronaves já inspecionadas. 12 Este acidente intensifica o escrutínio sobre a Boeing, que já enfrentava preocupações de segurança e alegações de denunciantes (John Barnett, Sam Salehpour) sobre falhas de produção e controle de qualidade no Dreamliner, incluindo problemas com baterias, lacunas na fuselagem e uso de peças defeituosas.
