Overview

• The AAIB report shows both engine fuel control switches moved from RUN to CUTOFF within one second just after liftoff, causing sudden thrust loss.
• Cockpit voice recordings capture one pilot asking “Why did you cutoff?” and the other denying action, underscoring confusion over the shutdown.
• Activation of the ram air turbine confirmed a complete loss of engine-driven power during the aircraft’s initial climb.
• Early analysis has found no mechanical or design defects in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner or its GE GEnx engines.
• Investigators are probing possible pilot procedural mistakes or deliberate actions and have not ruled out sabotage ahead of a full inquiry.
