Investigators in India are studying the black boxes of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner after recovering them from the aircraft wreckage to ascertain the cause of last week’s plane crash that left at least 270 people dead.

Air India cancelled 6 international flights due to various reasons including 'operational issues'. The cancelled flights include AI 915 (Delhi-Dubai), AI 153 (Delhi-Vienna), AI 143 (Delhi-Paris), AI179 (Mumbai-San Francisco), AI 133 (Bengaluru-London) and AI 170 (London-Amritsar). Air India operates B 787-8 Dreamliners to the UK and Europe.

The DGCA, following the AI171 crash, mandated enhanced safety inspections of all Dreamliner aircraft before takeoff and during transit.

Sumeet Sabharwal, who the Indian government has said had 8,200 flying hours of experience and was also an Air India instructor, was the commanding pilot of flight AI171. His co-pilot was Clive Kunder who had 1,100 hours of experience. Sabharwal's funeral took place in Mumbai on Tuesday.

Gujarat Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi on Monday confirmed that DNA samples of 125 victims in the Air India plane crash had been successfully matched, and families of 124 deceased had been contacted.
