Issue on British Airways flight one of two incidents in recent days to affect the same type of aircraft involved in the Air India crash in Ahmedabad that killed 241 people on board

While specific details of the meeting were not known, the discussions were centred around the crash of Air India's London-bound flight AI171 — Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner — in Ahmedabad last week, the source said.

A Chennai -bound British Airways Boeing 787 aircraft returned to London owing to a technical issue. The aircraft took for Chennai at around 1.16 pm on Sunday and returned to London Heathrow airport after an hour, dumping fuel in order to reduce its landing weight.

The Air India flight, carrying 242 passengers and crew members, crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad, India, en route to London Gatwick.
