The deadly Air India crash last month has renewed a decades-old debate in the aviation industry over installing video cameras monitoring airline pilot actions to complement the cockpit voice and flight data recorders already used by accident investigators.

International airlines from South Korea and India are preparing to inspect its Boeing fleets following findings from the Air India crash investigation.

A potential electrical malfunction in Air India's Boeing 787-8 may have caused the fuel switches to shift unintentionally, leading to a fatal crash. Despite being speculative in nature, the initial investigation highlights the need for caution.

Flydubai has joined several other airlines in the Middle East in checking the cockpit fuel switches on their Boeing aircraft, following the Air India crash investigation report. A preliminary report last week linked the fatal crash of an Air India plane in June to the fuel supply to its engines cutting off.

A report released by India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau pointed to fuel switches that flipped off during takeoff, depriving engines of power.
