AI not to ground Dreamliners


There are no plans at present to ground Boeing 787 Dreamliner planes of Air India even though the DGCA proposes to carry out a safety review of the new aircraft, officials said.
“There are no plans to ground the Dreamliner right now,” a senior Civil Aviation Ministry official said when asked about the technical glitches some of these planes have faced in the recent past.
The comment came hours after two Japanese airlines — ANA and JAL — grounded all 24 of their Dreamliner planes.
“We are in consultation with Boeing and Air India. Boeing will be giving us an update on the electrical problems these planes have suffered,” the official said.
