A Boeing and AAIB investigation team arrived in Ahmedabad on Monday to inspect the Air India crash site. The June 12 disaster involving a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner resulted in over 270 fatalities, including former Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani.

The passenger jet - the same type as the aircraft involved in last week's tragedy - was bound for New Delhi but landed back in Hong Kong about an hour after take-off.

Following a recent Air India Dreamliner crash after departing from Ahmedabad, the airline is performing enhanced inspections on its Boeing 787 fleet, as instructed by the DGCA.

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.
