India orders airlines to check fuel switches on Boeing jets

India's aviation regulator has issued a directive to airlines operating in the country to check the fuel switches on their Boeing aircraft. This order comes in response to a recent incident where a Vistara flight experienced an engine failure shortly after takeoff. The directive gives airlines a week to comply with the order, which requires them to inspect the fuel switches on their Boeing jets to ensure they are functioning correctly. The regulator has also asked airlines to report any issues or discrepancies found during the inspections. The move is a precautionary measure aimed at maintaining the safety and reliability of aircraft operations in India. The order applies to all airlines that operate Boeing aircraft in the country, including both domestic and international carriers. The directive is a proactive step by the Indian aviation regulator to address potential safety concerns and ensure the continued airworthiness of the aircraft serving the country's air travel market.
