India and Japan have mandated safety inspections for their Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleets following a recent Air India crash. The incident resulted in the loss of all lives on board except one.
On June 13, 2025, India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) instructed airlines to inspect their Boeing 787 aircraft. Similarly, Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) directed All Nippon Airways (ANA), Japan Airlines, and their subsidiaries AirJapan and ZipAir to examine both engines and airframes of their 787 aircraft, as reported by Kyodo News.
The combined fleet of Boeing 787s in India and Japan consists of 176 aircraft. Air India is the sole operator in India with both the 787-8 and 787-9 variants. Vistara's merger with Air India transferred its Boeing 787s to the latter's fleet. IndiGo operates one wet-leased 787-9 but does not own any.
