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.

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.

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

The seven-year-old Boeing 787-8 had only reached 22,000 feet before it hit the unexpected descent — prompting the pilot to turn the aircraft around quickly, according to AirNav radar.

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.

Indian authorities have started handing over remains of the victims of one of India's worst aviation disasters after identifying some through DNA tests.

AHMEDABAD, India >> The investigation into the Air India plane crash that killed more than 240 people is focusing on the engine, flaps and landing gear, a source said on Friday, as the aviation regulator ordered safety checks on the airline’s entire Boeing-787 fleet.
