787s are safe aircraft, company keeping watch: Boeing

New Delhi: US aircraft major Boeing said Wednesday its latest technologically advanced B-787 is a safe aircraft and the company is keeping a watch over every problem faced by the plane.
"It's a machine, we did our best to design it, but something happens... But it is a safe airplane, it has never caused issues with the safety of passengers," said Dinesh Keskar, senior vice president, sales, Asia Pacific and India, Boeing Commercial Aircraft.
"We have a operations control centre in Seattle which monitors every 787 aircraft in flight. We get to know about what is happening to every 787 in flight."
Keskar was replying to a question over a large belly panel of an Air India's 787 which fell off as the plane landed at Bangalore airport on October 12. The aircraft had taken-off from New Delhi carrying around 150 passengers.
