Air India has grounded all its Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft for safety concerns following an emergency landing of a Boeing 787 plane in western Japan earlier this week caused by a battery fire risk.
Air India has ordered a total of 27 Dreamliners.
The airliner's spokesman K. Swaminathan said that India's aviation authority directed the state airline to stop flying the Boeing planes Thursday morning as it waits for an investigation by Indian regulators to take place.
The 787, known as the Dreamliner, is Boeing's newest jet, and the company is counting heavily on its success.
Since its launch after delays of more than three years, the plane has been plagued by a series of problems including a battery fire and fuel leaks.
