Air India plane crash: No red flags or maintenance issue — N Chandrasekaran says ‘Dreamliners have been operating…’

Tata Sons Chairman N. Chandrasekaran on Wednesday said there were no red flags with the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft before the fateful accident.

Chandrasekaran's remarks comes almost a week after the tragic Air India plane crash that killed 241 out of the 242 passengers and cabin crew on board, as well as residents of the building that the aircraft crashed into.

“There were no red flags or maintenance issues (with Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft),” he was quoted as saying during an interview with Times Now.

The Tata Sons Chairman said he has asked aircraft maker Boeing and engine manufacturer GE Aerospace to tell the company if there are any issues with any aircraft made by them.

“We have asked Boeing and GE (Aerospace) to tell us if there are any issues with any aircraft,” Chandrasekaran said.
