NEW DELHI (Reuters) -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 happened just weeks after the company cut a deal with the U.S. government to avoid taking criminal responsibility for a pair of deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019.
Air India plane crash investigators have found both of the Boeing 787's "black boxes," hopefully brining an understanding of the cause of the disaster a step closer.
A Boeing and AAIB investigation team arrived in Ahmedabad on Monday to inspect the Air India crash site. The June 12 disaster involving a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner resulted in over 270 fatalities, including former Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani.
