An Air India Boeing 787 on flight AI154 from Vienna to Delhi diverted to Dubai after an autopilot malfunction triggered multiple on‑board computer failures, forcing pilots to hand‑fly the Dreamliner at night and land safely. The Federation of Indian Pilots has called for a temporary grounding and fleetwide inspections.

Briefing
Immediate operational impact: the AI154 diversion followed an autopilot failure that precipitated multiple computer malfunctions mid‑flight, forcing manual flight and a diversion to Dubai.
Regulatory follow‑up is likely: the DGCA has recently directed reinspections of Ram Air Turbine systems on Air India 787s, signaling rapid oversight action after in‑flight system anomalies (https://hype.aero/?story=06a88aef-aa25-4a2d-8bef-32776436ae9f).
This amplifies existing safety concerns: the pilot federation's demand echoes its earlier call to inspect 787 electrical systems and comes amid heightened DGCA scrutiny of Air India since the June Dreamliner crash (https://hype.aero/?story=725eb1a0-db08-4872-a2d8-c36cecb6cef0) (https://hype.aero/?story=2c6df85e-250e-4d72-b498-0ae27cac0c6e).
