Air India has cancelled eight international Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner flights after the horrific aviation disaster last week. The passenger jets were hit by a mix of issues from aircraft unavailability, technical snags, airspace restrictions, and extended safety checks.

Investigators believe the Air India Boeing Dreamliner had its emergency-power generator operating when it crashed last week in India's Ahmedabad, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday citing people familiar with the probe.

As per flight tracking data, at least nine Air India flights that were to be operated using the Boeing 787 aircraft have been cancelled so far on Tuesday.
