AI’s Dreamliner may resume flights by April end

Air India’s fleet of Dreamliner aircraft, grounded on the directions of US aviation regulator since January following battery-fire problem, is likely to resume operations by April-end.

‘The US Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) has approved Boeing’s plan to fix the battery-fire problem in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet. Boeing engineers are expected to arrive here by the end of this month and fix the lithium ion battery packages,’ said Aurn Mishra, Director General of country’s civil aviation regulator, DGCA.

Air India can put these Dreamliner aircraft into service by the end of April, after tests on the lithium ion battery packages are successfully carried out by Boeing, he said.
