New Delhi, March 1 Air India is making modifications to the faucet control modules in most of its Dreamliners, following a revised directive from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to modify modules susceptible to water leaks that could impact the aircraft's electronic equipment.
The FAA issued an Airworthiness Directive (AD) on February 2, applicable to certain Boeing 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 aircraft. These aircraft are also known as Dreamliners.
This AD superseded the AD issued in January 2024, related to the possibility of water leaks from the Faucet Control Module (FCM) in the 787s.
Currently, Tata Group-owned Air India has 33 Boeing 787s in its fleet, including 26 legacy 787-8s.
