Hyderabad: Air India today said they have no plans to ground the Boeing 787 Dreamliners in its fleet as they were serving the airline well and there were no safety issues.
Both DGCA and Boeing have also assured that there are no safety issues, Rohit Nandan, Chairman and Managing Director of Air India, said.
Addressing a press conference at India Aviation 2014, he said the functioning and performance of Dreamliners was being jointly monitored by a committee and Boeing and the final report would be placed after 18 months of their use.
Various issues relating to its supplies and functioning would be analysed during the 18-month ending in October.
There have been some snags which are common to induction of new aircraft and these are getting addressed. Boeing has also upgraded software for aircraft delivered before 2013 December.
The Air India chief said from now additions to its fleet would be made by way of leasing as this does not require Government approval.
