The FAA, on February 2, issued an Airworthiness Directive (AD) applicable to certain Boeing 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes. ADVERTISEMENTThis AD superseded the AD issued in January 2024 in connection with possibility of water leaks from Faucet Control Module (FCM) in the 787s.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. There was no official comment from Air India and Boeing. The directive was being issued to address undetected water leaks, which could damage flight critical equipment.
