Air India has inspected its entire fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliners and Boeing 737 planes following the horror crash last month, which killed 261 people, including dozens of Brits

The airline and aviation authorities began checking the switches on Boeing jets after an earlier report into the horror crash in Ahmedabad found the switches had flipped from “run” to “cut-off”.

Sumeet Sabharwal, 56, was the captain on the flight, while Clive Kunder, 32, was the co-pilot who was flying the plane. Together, the two pilots had more than 19,000 hours of flight experience - nearly half of it on the Boeing 787. Both had passed all pre-flight health checks before the crash.
