The 15-page report released Friday by India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau found that the cutoff switches for both engines were switched within one second.

The directive comes after a probe report on the Air India plane crash said that both fuel switches flipped from 'RUN' to the 'CUTOFF' shortly after take-off.

A preliminary report into the Air India crash last month, which left at least 270 people dead, indicates that fuel to the plane's engines was shut off just seconds after the plane lifted off.

According to AAIB's preliminary report on the crash, the 2018 Federal Aviation Administration Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin had highlighted the issue to Boeing as well.
