Air India and Boeing are in the midst of significant turnarounds, but knowing the cause of the crash of Flight 171 will take a lengthy investigation.

Boeing was generating optimism. Then on Thursday a 787 crashed, raising the specter of fresh problems for Boeing and altering the message it planned to send.

Indian authorities have ordered what they called “extended surveillance” of all Boeing 787 aircraft in the country’s fleet while they investigate the cause of Thursday’s crash of an Air India plane.

It’s also the latest disaster to hit the beleaguered American aerospace giant — which has been dogged by a door that blew off a 737 jet, a leaky spacecraft that stranded astronauts on the International Space Station for months, as well as politically damaging delays in outfitting the new Air Force One jets.

It could take months to fully understand what went wrong in the crash, the first involving a Dreamliner. Officials from India continued the investigation Friday.

In a statement shared on social media platform X, Air India said that nine of its Boeing 787 aircraft have already undergone the required safety checks.
