There are no plans at present to ground Boeing 787 Dreamliner planes of Air India even though the aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) proposes to carry out a safety review of the new aircraft, officials said on Wednesday.
'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 apanese airlines—ANA and JAL—grounded all 24 of their Dreamliner planes following a series of technical problems. '
There is nothing to be done by us at present. We have already carried out inspections and checks on our aircraft on our own, including the lithium ion batteries,' a senior Air India official said ‘We are awaiting advice from the US Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) and the Boeing company,' he added.
