Air India flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 carrying 242 people, crashed after taking off from Ahmedabad on its way to London.

At least four separate flights encountered technical issues or emergencies within days of the Ahmedabad Air India crash, forcing sudden flight diversions and raising fresh concerns.

It’s also the latest disaster to hit the beleaguered American aerospace giant — which has been dogged by a door that blew off a 737 jet, a leaky spacecraft that stranded astronauts on the International Space Station for months, as well as politically damaging delays in outfitting the new Air Force One jets.

The crash happened just weeks after the company cut a deal with the U.S. government to avoid taking criminal responsibility for a pair of deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019.

The DGCA's directive for enhanced safety inspection had come a day after an Air India 787-8 aircraft crashed moments after take-off from the Ahemdabad airport.

The Turkish government has denied reports claiming that Turkish Technic carried out maintenance on the Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner that crashed after take-off from Ahmedabad. The clarification follows online speculation about possible technical lapses.

The investigation into Air India flight 171 crash opens up questions into the many concerns surrounding Boeing's 787.
