✈️ Air India 787 Crash Sparks Global Aviation Fallout

One tragic incident—Flight 171 crashing seconds after takeoff on June 12—has now triggered the largest aviation insurance claim in India’s history: $475M+.

💼 Insurers are grappling with:

  • Hull loss, passenger and third-party liabilities

  • Montreal Convention caps exceeded by extensive civilian damage

  • Rising global premiums, especially for widebodies in dense airspace

🛬 Boeing 787s under a microscope:

  • DGCA orders full inspection of Air India’s 787 fleet

  • British Airways BA35 Dreamliner suffered flap failure days later

  • Another Air India 787 returned midair due to warning indicators

🔍 Safety, engineering, and oversight procedures are being re-evaluated worldwide—the aviation sector is bracing for a systemic reset.
