Air India: Dramatic incident with Dreamliner via Hong Kong!

On Monday, June 16, 2025, an incident occurred again with a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner from Air India. The machine with the flight number AI315 was on its way from Hong Kong to Neu-Delhi when it started at 12:20 p.m. local time. After reaching a flight altitude of about 22,000 feet, the crew started a descent at 1:00 p.m. and requested local operational readiness. The machine landed in Hong Kong at 1:15 p.m. Fortunately, flight operations at Hong Kong Airport remained undisturbed, and the machine is now being subjected to an in -depth review.

like [Exxpress.at] (https://exxpress.at/news/um breitt-erneut-mithe-iner-india-maschine/), this incident had its prehistory because it took place just a few days after the first fatal crash of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. On Thursday, a Boeing 787-8 crashed shortly after the start in Ahmedabad, of which only one passenger survived from a total of 242 survivors. This machine was also a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, which has a considerable security balance, but the circumstances of the crash raise questions. According to experts, technical malfunctions or maintenance problems may have led to this dramatic incident.

Details on the crash in Ahmedabad

The crash in Ahmedabad happened about five minutes after the start when the plane was on the way to London. On board there were 169 Indian citizens, 53 British citizens, seven Portuguese and a Canadian citizen. The tragedy started when the plane was only 625 feet above the ground and the data transmission suddenly failed, followed by a dramatic descent that indicated a possible loss of the engine performance. A total of 186 fatalities were reported and only one person survived. The aviation authorities in India have already taken measures and ordered the immediate inspection of all Boeing 787 aircraft of local airlines.

Security of the Boeing 787 Dreamliners

The Boeing 787, also known as Dreamliner, was introduced in 2011 and is known for its modern technologies and design features. It enables longer and more efficient flights than comparable passenger aircraft. The initiative to develop a reusable aircraft was aimed at significantly reducing the kerosene consumption and emissions of exhaust gases. Despite isolated incidents, such as the famous battery problems, the Dreamliner generally shows a positive security balance. In the past, however, there have also been non-fatal incidents, including a firefall at Heathrow Airport in London.

The [cbc.ca] (https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/boeing-dreamliner crash- 1.7559170) mentioned that the investigation into the causes of the crash will focus on both the maintenance practices of Air India and Boeing's role in these incidents. While the 787 overall is considered a safe and innovative aircraft, the pressure on both companies will grow, create transparency and ensure the safety of passengers.

Overall, it remains to be seen in which consequences are drawn from the latest incidents and how the developments will affect the airlines that operate the Dreamliner. The aviation industry must continue to deal with the challenges of security and technology in order to maintain the trust of travelers. For everyone involved, the recent events are an urgent call for careful review of flight safety.
