The tragic crash of Air India Flight AI-171 in Ahmedabad has once again brought Boeing’s Dreamliner under intense scrutiny. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, carrying 242 people to London Gatwick, crashed shortly after takeoff—marking the first-ever total hull loss for the aircraft since its 2011 debut.
