Air India's chairman revealed that one engine on the crashed plane was new, while the other was set for servicing in December, with both engines having clean histories. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed shortly after takeoff, resulting in the loss of over 270 lives. Investigators are analyzing flight data to determine the cause of the crash, cautioning against premature conclusions and noting that newer Genx-1B engines rely on continuous monitoring for maintenance decisions.
