The head of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Stephanie Pope, met the chairman of Air India on Monday in India, two sources said, as the companies seek to find the cause of last week's fatal crash involving a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Tributes have been paid to a student and keen cricketer who was killed in the Air India plane crash. Dirdh Patel, 23, who studied at the University of Huddersfield, was one of 241 passengers and crew members who died when the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner travelling from Ahmedabad to London crashed on Thursday.

The Air India flight fell from the sky on Thursday and killed at least 270 people in Gujarat state, officials said Saturday.

India’s government is urgently inspecting all Boeing 787s after a devastating Air India crash that claimed at least 270 lives this week, the aviation minister said on Saturday, adding that the authorities were investigating all possible causes.

The crash of a Boeing 787 passenger jet in India minutes after takeoff on Thursday is the latest incident that adds to woes at the troubled U.S. planemaker.

The technical investigation into the crash of Air India’s Boeing 787-8 aircraft operating flight AI-171 from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick is being conducted by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB).

Stephanie Pope met Air India Chairman N Chandrasekaran at the airline's headquarters in Gurugram, near New Delhi airport.

The crash could renew scrutiny of Boeing, which suffered a major blow to its reputation after 2018 and 2019 crashes involving its 737 Max planes.
