A safety notice regarding fuel shutoff valves in Boeing aircraft, including the 787 Dreamliner, was issued weeks before the Air India AI171 crash in Ahmedabad. The preliminary report indicated that fuel supply to both engines was cut off shortly after takeoff.

An Air India executive is still urging its staff not to jump to any conclusions as the investigation into the crash that killed 260 people last month continues. A preliminary report into the June crash found that the plane's fuel control switches had been flipped off one by one.
