Mumbai, Jun 19 (PTI) The crashed Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner was “well-maintained” with its last major check in June 2023 and the next scheduled for December 2025, said Air India CEO and Managing Director Campbell Wilson on Thursday.

In a message to flyers, the Air India chief also said the 15 per cent reduction in Air India’s widebody fleet operations for the next few weeks is a temporary move.

“The plane was well-maintained, with its last major check in June 2023 and the next scheduled for December 2025. Its right engine was overhauled in March 2025, and the left engine was inspected in April 2025. Both the aircraft and engines were regularly monitored, showing no issues before the flight,” he said.
