UK regulator monitoring Air India compliance after Dreamliner fuel-switch incident

NEW DELHI, May ​19 (Reuters) - ⁠Britain's civil aviation regulator ​said on Tuesday it was ​closely ‌monitoring Air India's compliance with its ⁠processes, months after the ⁠authority asked the ​airline to explain how a Boeing Dreamliner jet took off ​from London ‌with a possibly faulty fuel switch.

The statement was in response to queries ​on a Reuters report that said ‌Indian air safety officials plan to travel ‌to Seattle to observe Boeing's testing of the fuel switch panel.

"We ​are continuing our review as part ‌of our ongoing regulatory process in accordance with Third Country Operator regulations," ⁠the ⁠UK Civil Aviation ‌Authority said.

"The UK Civil Aviation Authority ​is ​closely monitoring Air India's ‌adherence to its processes," it added. (Reporting by Abhijith Ganapavaram. Editing by Mark Potter )
