Following the crash, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) instructed the airline to conduct detailed inspections of its Dreamliner fleet.

As India makes a thorough sweep of its fleet, the United States has already made a decision on Boeing 787s in use around the country. Officials from the U.S. determined they have not seen any immediate safety data that would require halting Boeing 787 flights following the accident, according to Reuters .

Boeing's 787 had never been involved in a fatal crash before Thursday. But it has come under scrutiny for quality concerns. It could take months to fully understand what went wrong.
