A string of mid-air emergencies involving Boeing Dreamliner aircraft has sparked growing concern in aviation circles, following the recent crash of Air India flight AI 171 near Ahmedabad. In less than a week, four separate incidents—all involving Dreamliners—have raised serious questions about safety, reliability, and possible systemic issues.

These three incidents follow the tragic crash of AI 171, which claimed several lives and has already placed scrutiny on Boeing's 787 series. All affected flights had direct connections to Indian airports, intensifying speculation over whether the issues are region-specific, software-related, or indicative of a broader manufacturing fault.
While no injuries were reported in the latest cases, aviation analysts are alarmed by the frequency and similarity of the events. Regulatory authorities in India and abroad are expected to intensify inspections of Dreamliner fleets. Passengers have begun expressing concerns online, calling for clarity and accountability.
Investigations are ongoing, but industry insiders agree: this pattern is no coincidence.
