Air India faces fresh turbulence following last week’s fatal crash as additional safety inspections on its Dreamliner fleet lead to flight delays, cancellations and growing passenger anxiety.

The sole survivor of the devastating Air India crash has described the exact moment he realised the plane was going down. Vishwash Ramesh said he noticed just moments into the flight that it felt as if something were "stuck", and the lights started flickering.

The preliminary finding gives investigators a new line of inquiry as they study a crash that killed all but one of the plane’s passengers.
