Investigadores en India estudiaban las cajas negras de un Boeing 787 Dreamliner después de recuperarlas de los restos del avión

A Boeing 787 Dreamliner - the same build as the one involved in last week's devastating Air India crash - was forced to turn back an hour into its 14-hour flight two years ago between Mumbai and Londo

A Dreamliner Boeing 787 identical the doomed plane crash that killed 229 passengers last week reportedly had an engine failure and made an emergency landing two years ago.

Air India on Tuesday afternoon cancelled its Ahmedabad-London Gatwick flight citing "operational issues". No further explanation has been offered by the airline, passengers said. Sources at Ahmedabad's Sardar Vallabhai Patel Airport said passengers will be re-routed.

Sumeet Sabharwal, who the Indian government has said had 8,200 flying hours of experience and was also an Air India instructor, was the commanding pilot of flight AI171. His co-pilot was Clive Kunder who had 1,100 hours of experience. Sabharwal's funeral took place in Mumbai on Tuesday.

An Air India flight to London from Ahmedabad has been cancelled just days after the fatal Gatwick-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crash last week.

Gujarat Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi on Monday confirmed that DNA samples of 125 victims in the Air India plane crash had been successfully matched, and families of 124 deceased had been contacted.
